Well I finally got a set of early bronco coils and some coil retainers for the radius arms. Its not completely done, but I got it setting on its own for the first time in a year! :P I ran out of welding wire before I could finish it up. No pics yet but should have it setting on its own for good next weekend. This is a big step so hopefully I can move on to fenders, wiring, etc now.

What brand of radiators and you Jeep guys running? Im in the market for a cheaper one and have found summits universal and griffin but they dont have the tabs on the side to mount to the grill. Any opinions?

Had to make some custom brackets for the radiator. Since my entire jeep was custom, factory mounting didn't matter. Your probably gonna have to do the same thing. Not much out there in the way of high performance aluminum jeep radiators that will keep your engine cool. Just find a high performacne one with very similar measurements and all the holes on the right side and placed correctly on the top or bottom. I bought mine from a racing shop just off of the Western Ave exit. West Haven is their name....i think. I can't remember the price thought. Brice mentioned trying Whites performance...(maybe White Racing) in oliver springs...not sure of the name. Hope this helps. :D
