Looks great! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif) Is that a oil/air separator between the valve cover and the vac pump? How well does it work?

Hey Jim..
Yes it is a reservoir in between the puke tank. It has a tube in the center that goes to about an inch from the top. This way. if I get oil from the pump it will have to fill the reservoir tank first. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Made one run with it on and no oil. Then the car wrecked the next pass.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)
Wayne..
The radiator fill was done by Mike Lupfer in Denver Co. It has really worked well for me. It works as an expansion tank as well as a fill tank. It also eliminates air bubbles from these high speed electric pumps.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/punkrocka.gif)
Al..
Brian Smith just finished the front clip, so now I just have to get the car to him for install.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif) He will probably do my Wheelie Bars too.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)
It's been 19 months now.. Hopefully we'll be back at it soon.
I'll have pics of my new wheels and tires soon. Centerline Qualifier wheels and M/T Slicks.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eeek.gif)
P.S. RICH.. There's no snow in Phoenix Arizona.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif)

Chris i was wondering what kind of front runners you have...they look fairly low profile.
David..
Fronts in that pic are Goodyear 5.0" x 23.0"..
My new M/T's are 4.5" x 24.0" Which actually measure 23.33".. They are 74.25 roll out. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)
