Re: Bare nekkid radiator

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, Pardon my being nosy, but how much did it end up setting you back???
My flood car has an original rad in in, but the fins along the bottom third a rotting. the cores look good, but I doubt it will coll properly for more than a run it in and out of the garage type thing. It does have the original 319 number on the top tank and looks good with no dents in the tanks or obvious rot anywhere other then the fins. I may decide to recore it.
I'm just trying to get a feel for what it will cost.
  No bites on selling the convertible yet. I figure I'll be starting work on it in earnest around Thanksgiving/xmas break. The American will end up being neglected and staying as is for another summer, as I can't do two cars at once in my shop!
  I've beeen hinting to my wife I need a bigger garage. we have 3+ cars worth now!. She's not buying it!!! The parkin garage is two cars 28'X28' with an inset for the laundry room.
 It has so much stuff surrounding the parking slots we can just abrely get two cars in!!!
My work shop is 15'x27' and almost as bad as it contains two first generation V-8s a Turbo 400 and transfer case, plus Mig welder along one wall!
  As soon as plywood comes back down to an earthly price I hope to build a 12'X16' work shop/storage building for my wood working tools and clear out some parking garage space!
  Wish me luck!
