You mean THAT was the beginning of all this fun you are now having

Ah, but that was just the beginning.....my little radiator replacement mushroomed into rebuilding the whole car!!!
It's all good. It'll be great when it's finished......one of these years!

I am thinking about leaving the shroud wide and mounting L brackets to the side of the radiator with the small part of the L pointing out on each side. I would also mount the overflow tank between two of the L brackets and shroud on one side.
My only concern is how long the screw can be before I drill it into live fins?

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
