Cooling tower idea

Pepper. I not sure why you don't want to cut into the spare tire area of your car to put a radiator there??
Can you tell my why?

I had to replace my front clip on my car 6 monthes ago (I rear ended somebody...oops) and had to go through all the cutting again. It took me about a half hour to cut the hole. Thats it, its way easier than anything you have proposed in this column, and it works (cant say the same about the other way of doing it)

You don't need to rerout the gas tank it stays there. You have room to work on it, it is unnoticable from the outside, you don't need to vent your hood/windows/fenders. Its clean. what else can you ask for?

I'm not trying to offend you or anything, It just seems to me that this is the simplest and easiest way and it definitly will cool the motor.

Your not offending me Joe, I appreciate all and any input you have. To answer the first Q you have, I just don?t want to cut on the main body maybe that?s weird, or I might be weird? anyhoo .
What you did with your car was very simple, I?m just wondering if there is even a simpler way. Putting in a rotor is easier than putting in a V6, I?m just trying to see if we all could figure out a system for cooling that?s easer than cutting up the front clip. Believe me I?m not knocking your idea, or saying this idea is better. Its just that your website has got the cogs turning in my head, what if we could make a cooling box that is 10in square & 14-17 in long and is powered my a high volume cage fan, and can be located some ware near the back by the engine? heck a guy could even chrome it I guess
