[DeTomaso] Ford (Laminova) oil cooler project

[boyd casey]

Ken, I have my car in the shop while I am doing your brake Mod. As you know
it has turned into a complete rebuild with all new bushings, shocks, ball
joints, tie rod ends powder coated a-arms  and all new stainless hardware.
While the car is in the shop and on the lift I would like to try to install
one of the oil coolers. You know Chris Difani was supposed to be holding one
of these for me.  The guys I have helping me ( really doing most of the
work) are master mechanics and will have no problem with the installation
and I will be happy to document the entire process with photographs and
written documentation.
