Hey Guys !! Visited Mr Laws today. We could not align the car locally as car would not fit the machine !!??!! Will take to Autometrics Motorsports in Charleston SC Oct 5th for this, ride height adjustment, and final sorting. Thanks to Peter for the fog covers !!

We have some tire clearance issues and will remove this guard and will fabricate a screen to fit.

The ‘55 356 is in for starter issues. Hopefully looking forward to showing the 911 at Greenbriar, Cincinnati, and Chattanooga Concours in 2021. Thanks for following this thread.

Is the oil cooler in the original location? There shouldn't be any clearance problems. Try to retain the louvered plate, the louvers create a low pressure area that helps pull air thru the cooler. A mesh screen won't do that and cooling efficiency is reduced.

As Ed said the stock louvered plate has no clearance issues...

(I retro-fitted a '72 cooler and stub hoses with later hard lines and thermostat on my '73)

Looks like George is using the Elephant Racing cooler setup.
It has a frame mount at the bottom of the cooler.
Maybe it can move closer to the back of the battery box.
Can you show what space is there now

Thanks for the expert input !! We really appreciate it. I will forward to Mr Laws and try to keep this plate. I am almost 100% that it is from Elephant. The years that have gone by have clouded my memory !!

Mr Laws will have fun moving the cooler more forward ....
Then adjusting the smaller connector pipes and then adJusting the finned long pipes .
Ask me how I know (my 71)
The issue is the Elephant setup Does not adapt well to the rear inner body which is not flat like later cars.

Hope it goes well and easier than mine
Let us know

He is also putting more sealer under certain parts of the windshield rubber where it was depressed and to make a tighter seal. Alignment will be soon !! The ‘76 wheels are on the car now. My hair hasn’t been cut since Feb !! Thanks for following this thread !! Attachment 530513Attachment 530514

Oh no! Sealer under the windshield seal!! Whoever takes that windshield out next will be cursing your name.

Visited Mr Laws today. Here, he made a custom grill for the front oil cooler. It looks fantastic. He did not have to move the cooler at all and painted black so it disappears. He loves these challenges in design !!
