Default Be-Cool is in

I got the radiator installed yesterday. It took some modding to make it fit. I had to cut the rubber mounts & cut some notches in the fan bracket, but all things considered, not too bad. The bent tube caused a problem - my anodized rad hose end did NOT want to fit. But all I need to do now is fill it will DexCool & fire it up & check for leaks.

The bad news is I threw my lower back out doing it (may have done it on my sons car & didn't notice until I worked on the TA) so I got to stay home today. So much for double-time pay.

Anyway, I will take a pic with the wife's new digicam & post it later. Looks pretty good......BIG.....SHINY!!!

Maybe I'll make the test drive over to Dougies house to watch & laugh.

Mark, That radiator looks great. So does your car. Thanks for coming over and helping out yesterday. Glad the Red Racer is back on the road. And Jason I sure hope you are talking about Mark's radiator.
