Very nice build reconstruction, and I really enjoyed reviewing it. Great job!

Tennessee is great. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge has grown ALOT. For me, the traffic is terrible now so I rarely go.I want to go back to Tennessee gatlinburg area she wants to go on a cruise I spend 1/2-3/4 of my time in the water so I’m wanting to get away from the water and beach but maybe we can come to a agreement before to long
Looking good, though I would sleep easier if I had spring clamps on those cooler lines instead of worm drive clamps.View attachment 391661

Got the transmission cooler installed and painted the chrome on my grille black still waiting on the chrome tow hooks to arrive tonight! I think it looks a lot cleaner

Probably. But, it's more that worm drive clamps take a 'set' after a while, so as the rubber in the hose takes that set, the clamp is no longer exerting as much pressure against the underlying nipple. At some point, a line pressure surge such as when you punch the throttle, will be enough to overcome that weakened bond and the hose will pop off or at least start to leak. A spring clamp exerts constant pressure and it will keep exerting that pressure even as the hose takes a set. On places like cooler lines that will likely be out of sight for the next decade, spring clamps are the way to go.You think they would be strong enough for transmission line pressure? Maybe doubled up? Just curios.
I plan on changing them out it’s all I had at the time and no ride 45 min away to a parts store lolLooking good, though I would sleep easier if I had spring clamps on those cooler lines instead of worm drive clamps.
