In this post, the team installs multiple components for the 1963 Corvette Cooling System.  We repaired and installed the fan shroud, fan, fan clutch, lower hood latches, hood hinges, hood support, alternator, upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, both balance hoses, and are working on assembly of the fuel injection unit.

 We found on the fan shroud that some one had cut a section out to make clearance for an aftermarket radiator.
