Electric fan installed

The original owner reported the car always ran "hot", so we've tried to address the problem during the rebuild. We had the radiator re-cored (now thicker & denser) and changed to an electric "pusher" fan.

The electric fan gives us a few benefits: better airflow, more horsepower, and it can continue cooling after the car is shut off.

A friend recommended "Spal" fans, so I purchased one (Spal 30102058 10" Paddle Blade Pusher Fan) from Mueller Motorwerks. This fan is rated at 1100 cfm, has balanced blades and fits in the cramped space!

It arrived this week and Barry & Bob installed and wired it.
