    Interesting Part. Think its homemade.

    Heres how my moring went.  Went to Illinois yesterday and got a front clip (had to buy the whole clip to get the inner fender parts I wanted)   Tore it all down.  But I wanted everyone to see this homemade (my best guess is transmission filter/cooler) ?  I have never seen anything quite like this.  For me to find a way to reuse this beast, it would have to sandwich between the radiator and the condensor.   I dunno.  Its the biggest darn transmission cooler Ive ever seen.  Maybe an old condensor someone turned into a cooler?   Any thoughts?   

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    I will give whoever made it for one thing.  They made that behemoth to fit all exsisting bolt holes.
