i'm curious as to whats behind the big round vented cover on the left side. its not the coil, its on the frame rail and i can't believe theres a horn behind there. putting the oil cooler up like a radiator is pretty slick.

I'd guess there's a fan under that cover on the left side.

Looks like there's enough room for a fan in front of the radiator.
My first thought when I saw the first picture, most set them up like a Morgan with both cylinders in the wind and that one would have the rear running hot.
That why I figured he mounted a parade fan under that cover on the left.
