I think its OK but really the whole housing should be painted (mono style) to make it stand out and I dont think anyone will do that

Again the ones from Amazon work very well and are very brite. Plus if you really dont like just send them back. I have had these for 4 years now and like them. iBrightstar Newest 9-30V Super Bright Low Power 1157 2357 2057 7528 BAY15D LED Bulbs with Projector Replacement for Stop Tail Brake Lights, Brilliant Red

That looks identical to my radiator fan set up. The thermostat and controller are identical, but I cannot tell if the fans are made by Spal. My setup has Spal fans and has been in use for at least 17 years. The fans are loud and start and run simultaneously, resulting in a high amp start up and the fans draw a lot of running amps. I am told the new Spal brushless fans have a soft start feature. 

I don't like the temperature probe as it passes through the radiator fins between the tubes. I am going to weld two bungs into the radiator and run two thermostats at different temperatures to mitigate the high start up load and fan noise.

For reference, I used a four row champion radiator for 14 years that developed a pinhole leak (free to a good home). I then installed a Champion three row radiator that does the job; however, my seat of the pants tells me that the fans are running for a longer period of time with the three row radiator.

I took power from the starter (trunk mounted battery), so when hot, my fans would run with the key off. If I restart the car with a hot radiator the fans will run, sometimes making starting difficult. The relays switch off of ground from the thermostat, so I wired a switch to interrupt the thermostat ground to the relay.

For other cars, I have had success treasure hunting at independent Volvo, Ford, Chevy, etc. repair shops. The modern cars have modules that frequently fail, and on many, the modules are not sold independently, leaving a perfectly good shroud, fans and wiring, often with fuses. Sometimes I get them free or pay about $50 for a unit.  Almost all of the units use Spal fans and I have found these oem units to be quieter than my set up. The factory connectors matched the connectors available from Spal-no splicing wires. 
Good luck.
 

I found that Autocoolguy makes one of the best fan contolers out there. Has no prob or relays and  releys on the out going side of the radiator for temp con

I have the borg conversion on my 65 and everything fits and has worked fine for many years. Am i missing something here

My question is how did you get the numbers so white.

RTM can you share the name and number of the chrome shop I want to get my bummpers done. I have 3 to do.

I have the 2:79-2:80 in mine with a nicely built 289, C4 and EFI.  I idle around town but on the hwy I am running 2800-3200 at 65-75 sofar with only 4K on new motor I get 18 with reg gas. Im happy. Hope I can squeez 19-20 mpg on trip this year.

I get all of my lights from Amazon. Just check reviews and specs. I use  SuperbrightLed.com for referance only.
My 65 and my 67C10 are full LED. and recently I just added blue tape light to my new dash cluster and blue blubs.

Geeess I just got a 3.00 8" and plan to rebuild myself because mine has some grrawly noise when I let off the gas. I tried driving without letting off but that just didnt work out. 

yes it is a 65 but I guess it could be a 66. Dont really know. Just picked it up from a friend that cleaned out a family members house. It was very clean and had 36K on it so I just did the modes I did the needed modes and installed the LEDs. They have been feild tested so I know they will be fine.
