Music choice was boss. Curious as to what the braided hoses running along each fender-hood line are for.

Thanks guys, the large hoses are for the radiator. It is mounted in the trunk.

Such an awesome build!

Just curious, Could you give some insight on how you like the radiator mounted in the trunk? Is there a drastic improvement in cooling? or is it just because the LS is that big?

[Shmately]

Main reasons I mounted the radiator in the trunk was for crash protection and weight distribution. It does not run much cooler in back due to the lack of airflow. The trunk is a cooler place than the engine bay, so the lack of airflow in the trunk vs. a hot engine bay seems to work just as good. You need to do some tricks to get as much airflow as you can back there, but it works fine. Temps didnt get above 210 the whole day. Just plan on spending alot on those 20-30ft hoses and many fans!
