Cheater


Next in the queue was the cooling fan and fan clutch. These fan clutches are very expensive to replace and fail often, so it's lucky that the one on this car is in great shape — save for its looks.

The body was media- and then bead-blasted to make it look shiny and new while the five-blade fan was powder-coated gloss black. This is the only thing on the car that was powder-coated, but it seemed like a good place to cheat so this is more durable than it would be under paint.

The only task left is to buy a rubber stamp to replace the "This Side Up" marking on the thermo strip on the front.
