I like the top of the blades being silver. Did you do that or order it that way??

Couple pictures from today. We made it to Palm Springs for the Fan Belt Toss.
The car drives so much better with the new 1964 front suspension. :tu:

cut the springs and run the 16” wheels like before,
or raise the back slightly and run the Billet Specialties wheels?
Personally I think the Cragars that were on it three years ago were the better wheel for the car. :my02:

Awesome. I'm curious how long it takes for the anodizing to show wear from normal use. It basically gets sandblasted just spinning and moving cooling air. My paint jobs never last long on the magnesium fans.

Car gained over 5HP by installing the nashfan. It may have gained more but it was much hotter outside than the previous dyno run last year.

The fan looks awesome! That’s got to be a great HP boost for the $$$. Might have to get one of those…. :think:

Car looks and sounds great too!

An attractive car. I like those wheels, they go well with the 1960 model Euro look.
