Hello everyone,
Just registered to this group. Presently I own a 1926 Ford Sedan Delivery that I acquired about one year ago. It was a very nice daily driver that was built as a late 70"s Restro-Rod. The drivetrain is a Buick V6, 350 Turbo Transmission with a 9" Ford disc brake rear end. The front suspension is a 3" dropped tube axle with disc brakes. My future plans is a Jaguar IRS.
Having been a car guy since the 70's as my first one was a 34 Ford sedan and later a 33 Plymouth couple. Presently have a 65 Pontiac 2+2 conv., 87 Fiero GT, as well as a 85 S-10 V8 Blazer. Looking forward to sharing my experience with everyone as well as learning from others.

Nice car. I built a 87 s10 v8, it was a really fun truck, but I had a hard time with cooling in the summer.

Thanks for the welcome.
I have a Corvette radiator as recommended by Jaguars That Run along with an engine driven fan. For extra insurance ther is a dual electric fan setup mounted in front for the extra hot days. Plus the hood is louvered with 6 rows of 3” louvers.

I had the corvette radiator too with the stock clutch fan. I then had a custom brass radiator made that worked better but it still struggled. The louvers are a good idea, always thought the heat was trapped in there.

Welcome to the site. Nicew to see you here. Great looking rod as well!
As I've gotten older the excitement is just figuring out how to "Gitter Done" is what counts. I thoroughly enjoy your posts with the details of how you figured out the steps to not just get it done,...
