To almost quote Hamlet ..."Look here, upon this picture, and on this,
The counterfeit presentment of two Cobras".
It seemed like a good opening line for some more of the bogus items installed to replicate the original car. The transmission #8 Russell coolant lines are now running through the engine bay into the grill area of the car. Now all that's missing is a modified C-6 transmission and oil cooler to complete it.
The 1st image is of the original car back in the day when it was painted black. You can see part of the coolant lines on the passenger side. The only saving grace (and the justification for doing it) is the proper look and the fact that it hides a major rub mark in the paint. The coolflex hose rubbed a nasty scar over 12,000 miles.
I'll bet it's safe to say I've got the only toploader in the forum with it's own oil cooling system plumbing.
