Update:
Finally fired it up in July and did the 30 break-in run. It's been out in the driveway a few times, but not on the road yet.
Everything from the dashboard forward on the car has been redone, or is in process.
Still doing all the detail items. Geeze it takes a lot of time! I must have spent 2 days restoring the headlight assemblies! (but boy, do they look nice)....I sure could use Erin's help...she likes red '66's right? icon_biggrin
Today I aligned the front fenders, then prepped and painted the underside of the hood. Hood will go on this week. Also hope to repaint the grille and h.l. trim this week. Almost road-ready! hello2
Anyway, here are some pics:

Yes, it's a Griffin #26242-X. Avail from Summit for $180:

This one has 1" wide tubes.

It fits great! Only drawback is it does not have a drain or a built-in automatic trans fluid cooler. I haven't driven the car yet, so I can't comment on its cooling performance. But it did keep the fresh Nail cool for the 30 min break-in run.
There is a thicker version avail with 1-1/4" tubes. It's pn 56242 for $270.
