I bought a piece of lexan from Lowes for the side windows of the half shell, still waiting for the weekend to do more fiberglass.

I ordered some parts to start putting together an electric fan controller. I already have an electric fan from a newer V6 Camry ready to swap in once I get the controller made. I am not impressed with the quality/reliability of the typical fan controllers readily available, so I am building one from scratch using OEM quality components. The heart of the system will be a Cooper Bussmann RTMR fuse/relay box using an older Porsche fan control coolant temperature sensor. It will have low and high fan speed controls with a override for the AC and manual control using dash switches. I will put up more detail when I actually get it built.
Sounds good. Please be detailed, so I can copy you
