Doug I live in Stevens Point Wi.  I run at Byron, Havana IL, Cordova, Sometimes Cedar Falls Ia  I will be at Columbus Oh on labor day weekend at the all Ford Expo.. If you are in that part of the country you should bring your CJ.. A lot of old Fords should be running.  20-25 Y block guys.  Usually quite a few FEs.  The late model Mustang crowd will not be there this year so it should have a more vintage flavor.

The hose you see is the water inlet. My radiator is in the trunk area and an electric fan and  pump for cooling

I only live about 1:20 minutes from Columbus. I always try to make it to the Ford Expo and will make it for sure this year.

May have to bring my Dad also, who worked in the Lima engine plant for 30 years and started my passion for Ford cars since the day I was born. Even though he doesn't usually like modified cars, he would get a real kick out of your car. It always puts a grin on his face when he sees some old Ford iron running in a vintage looking drag car. He's still ornery at 78 now and always smiles when I  show him stuff on the forum.

Royce you really are a diehard that's for sure. I love seeing stuff like this. If you take it to the rock I would love to see it run as I haven't been there this year. GOOD JOB ROYCE :)
