Morning folks, looks like a slow day in the coffee shop...
Here's the progress on the 71 Valiant 4 door in the last week:
The fan and spacer set-up that @whitepunkonnitro sent was just what we needed!!!
So we cleaned them up:
And got the front of the engine compartment back together... Now we have about 7/8" clearance to the radiator fins from the front of the fan... (Much better than the less than 1/4" with the clutch fan...)

Looked kinda hazardous with all them parts flying around in the air. Good that you captured them and got them togetherHere's the progress on the 71 Valiant 4 door in the last week:

I wrote a book on poltergeists, it's flying off the shelves....
Looks like the Mobile chris has over the cribs, does it play the ice cream song when it spins around?

When I saw the first pic, I though Karl was making a cool Mopar ceiling fan!

I'm a little depressed. I saw this '71 Demon today and have the cash to buy it...but I talked myself out of it.

Yes they are a tight fit!

It's the same color as the '71 Demon I had in my first year of College and has the "double bubble" I had on my '70 Duster.
I just can't justify having 3 hobby cars...
I hear ya. I would love a early B body but no place for it. I haven't decided whether I want to sell my 66 or not. May be I will just play with what I have and sell them both, down the road, and buy me a 64 Dodge to finish out my car hobby.It's the same color as the '71 Demon I had in my first year of College and has the "double bubble" I had on my '70 Duster.

Done for the day. Goof off time. Did some yard work. Split and stacked the last of my firewood. raked up the area. Probably won't need much more than I already have in the house for the season, but there is a madness to my method. Trying to get some spring cleanup out of the way now so as it gets nicer I can get at the Duster and get it on the road.

Beer for me, thanks.

Having a few cold ones now. I had just finished doing a few hours work for my consulting client and saw that Demon right after that.
I decided I needed a few beers to try to forget about it.
I keep telling myself all the other things I could do with that money on the GTS and the SRT...
Valium for me.
Got the hurts Ray?
In more ways then one. Had my friend mike drive me over to see the progress he and my friend Abraham have done on my cuda.
They shrunk the 2006 a/c box 5 inches to fit it. Just depresses me I can't do anything. I'll get past it.
Well that sucks. At least you can hang out here with your fellow Moparians. I can't do a lot any more either. I have been nursing back issues for decades. I am just about to quit the tool business. I just can't stand to stand very long anymore. So much pain and too many Ibuprofen.
Valium more for stress relief.
I'm no different then anyone else here we all have health issues.
Sorry to hear about your's hang in and try and stay on top of things.
Going in tomorrow for x rays. I haven't been the medical route yet. If I retire this summer I will have more time to pursue the medical route. I don't really want a operation unless there is no other choice. I have way too many extremities tingling and not in a good way. LOL

been there, the longer you wait the greater the chances for permanent nerve damage. I have had 3 back surguries already, each was an improvement.

Hey bartender!
Yikes! That's scary...

Ok, I just soothed my pain over that Demon a little.
I just ordered a set of these for the GTS...Just like I had on my old GT 30+ years ago.
