Mark; Thank you for your encouraging reply. I was hoping to experience exactly that... that wherever the accessory parts protrude the most, the radiator, shroud and fan protrude the least, etc. I reviewed the 22 sets of pictures that you posted on the transformation of your 51 Burb. The pictures helped motivate me a lot. I will refer back to many of them as I progress. Seeing the space in front of the radiator where you positioned the condenser and dryer gave me confidence that the space is there, up front, to comfortably add those things. Please let me know what technique and tools you use to strip sheet metal bare prior to repair and painting. I owe you a status update when I get past this stage of the build (when I resolve the radiator, shroud, fan, accessory system space issue).
