Radiator Install

Well, it has been awhile since my last update…man that kinda sounds like an intro to AA.

Anyway, I ordered my new radiator and couldn’t be happier with it. A 1980 dodge truck fits into the stock radiator brace with only some trimming of the side pieces. Took me about 15 min to trim it up and test fit it. I will drill some 1/4 inch holes to mount it tight and work on the lower radiator hose fit but it looks good to me.

This will allow me to fit the inner fenders and front sheetmetal pretty easily and should cool this engine effortlessly.

Here is some more pictures of the side and fitment. Pretty nice I think.

Moonlighting no more…

Well, it is officially a 1 year anniversary. Jeff mentioned this to me and I was shocked that it had been that long. So, Yeah, I got this car about the same time last year and cannot believe it is this far. Today I got the front airbags finally completely installed and plumbed. I also got some steel wheels for the car - but might pick up another two when I get the chance (87 lincoln towncar).

Jeff helped me out a bunch today and I can’t thank him enough. For aesthetics we put on the front fender and rear quarter panel. We also got the alternator issue figured out. It is slow progess on this front end as I have replaced everything. Still have to tighten down those up-right bolts.
Below are a bunch of pictures of the first sun it has seen since the drive home. In the last picture you will see Jeff’s 47 Chevy Coupe.
