As you know I am very interested whatever JBL stuff you guys are working on. It will be a while before body goes on so there is time to work with you on this stuff. I have to finish up the plumbing, brakes are done but not fuel, and a bunch of dust bunnies I'm chasing around.
I am beginnig to think about the cooling and breather systems and the best setup for the track. I have been trying to do my homework on these subjects but have not gotten any real comprehensive info. I have a 16" fan 2950 cfm and have been looking at mounts and shroud possibilities. Also radiator frame area....panels to close off sides and force all air thru the radiator. I would like to talk with you on this.
Crazy, yes. I will most likely flair the rears. The body and panels seem to be just fine except the drivers door. The contour is very different than the body. This is with the body relaxed and flat. I'm hoping it's the door and not the body. Will send you pics when I get to that department again.
I will get with you on the other stuff after I get the drive trane completed.
Thanks Richard, john

John,
the new stuff addresses airflow in all the areas you speak of above. The parts are pretty trick and Dave and the boys have spent a bunch of time on the bits. You will not need to do anything extra after you get these parts.
The doors will line up correctly once the body is positioned correctly. It is not difficult to do, but we need to talk about the method of fitment so that things go easy for you. There are some little tricks that are not obvious that make it work quite well.
Give me a ring when your schedule allows so that these issues are taken care of without a bunch of effort on your part trying to figure out how to make a bucket of parts work together.
