HEY NOW, DON'T YOU TALK SMACK ABOUT MY RADIATOR.
I happen to love it. It actually does not look so bad, remember you are looking at a REAL CLOSE shot (macro). Overall, since it is an original 1932, it is working good. It has a new core on it. The rtadiator specialist who is very knowledgeable and builds a lot of radiators for rat rods fixed the seal. It blew because of my mistake. I always turn my fan on when I drive, but last week I had Troy (Hollywood Hot Rods) test drive the car to test the brakes. he didn't know about the flicking of the fan and I forgot to tell him. 20 min of stop and go at 2 mph later, the radiator boiled over.
None of this would have been cause to blow his top LOL, but someone had a 16 Lbs cap on it. I now have learned that these old radiator need only 7Lbs.
So now we start afresh and hopefully I will not mess up and he will not retaliate
PS: I love my old radiator, wouldn't want a new one if you gave one to me.
.
Having said that and talking about "investing" (I'll have to use that one hehe) I have "invested" in : a)- A Posie new leaf spring ( Hollywood roll style ) thanks for letting me know of its existence b)- New, shorter lower front shock mounts c)- a pair fo swan mirrors (I have one and wanted the right side one, but they only sell them in pairs GRRR) d)- A panhard bar e)- new king pins f)- new booties for my half-rack
All above parts are in preperation for dropping off Hiboy at Hollywood Hotrods on Saturday 12/02 for some major work.
All in all, the little guy is SPOILED ROTTEN. (Or should I say "Spoiled Rusten?"
)
