my car was originally a Rally Sport so I bought the grille kit and started mocking her up...

I would remove that fan, its a major air block at all speeds

with a 498" big block, she needs all the air movement (artifically supplied) she can get! :D

Thats fine if you dont drive the car over 15 mph, the faster you go the less air you push throu a fan like that, it acts like a big 14" plate once your mph gets higher than the cfm the fan pulls on it own, air looks for the least restrictive path and goes over the car instead of threw the radiator. Just a lil tip incase u run into a problem later.

If it works, then thats awesome! Your car looks really nice! Good job.

after a 2 weeks getting ready, 3 1/2 weeks at the bodyshop getting a lot more done than originally expected the bitch is back and all put together. All I have left to do is install the QA1 front coilover shock kit and new sway bar. Come on spring!!!!

the car is a true Rally Sport and all the rear was still correct. I think it had a fiberglass front end on it at one time and someone just put a stock (non RS) nose back on it...
