Marco, I have had good luck with an air powered 3″ cut off tool. be careful, it cuts really fast, but very clean. wear eye protection and a dust mast (if you can find one). with a steady hand it cuts fairly straight, but again very fast. A 90degree die grinder with a 2″ disk works well to profect your work, but hand sanding with a block is much safer and cleaner. Good luck, and we would really like to see that Bugatti replica.

So, lets not forget there are other systems that will affect operating temperatures. Timing, as the distributor vacuum and mechanical advance, and air fuel ratio, if it’s lean, and exhaust restrictions. Anyway the radiator is great. An oil cooler will also help. The guys in the club always have good advice. Good luck.

We have a FiberFab, new drum brake system, with drop spindles. No pea gravel or concrete, just plenty of tools and supplies for longer trips. I’m with Ed, it’s all about good fresh tires, what a better ride and braking with quality tires. We keep our rear drum brakes adjusted up (with vw rear engine) and no braking issues. The oem design brakes will lock up if heavily applied, I would consider rear disc brakes with so much weight on the rear wheels. we run 30psi in the rear, and like Ed 20psi in the front. Good luck, and thanks for the posting.

So with a new sealed fuel tank is the liner really required, just asking
