Had the same radiator problem putting my Buick on a Cadillac frame, they make a lot of radiators. Nice job.

Hey thanks David! Yeah we are lucky they have so many different ones to choose from just had to find one with the right measurements that would work. A bunch of hours looking but I found one. Going to be all worth it in the end right! Thanks for stopping in I appreciate it. Have a great night Take care 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Finding the missing links is the real work lol I can definitely relate. It's coming along pretty good. I know it can get a little overwhelming when the project is coming along slower than we want it to but you're doing great 👍👍.

Had Similar Issues With Sketchy Dicks Front Brake Calipers And Hoses!!! Not Knowing What Year Any Of The Parts Were!!! Found Out I Had One Metric And One Standard!!! 78-79 Is The Split On A Lot Of GM Cars!!! Wheels Fit Perfectly With The Spacers!!! You Had Good Luck There!!! KYBs Are Good Shocks!!! Looking Good!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!
@IronheadGarage7 күн бұрын
Hey thanks Pat! Yeah it was nice to finally figure out what parts I needed for those lines had me stubbed there for a few. Didn't know they switched to metric those damn guys should have just left stuff alone lol. I like standard shit😁. I did luck out on those wheels with the spacers for sure if it was a race car I wouldn't use those spacers. But being just a cruiser they should be fine I'm thinking. Good to hear those KYBs are good I've always thought they were decent shock's. Thanks for stopping in brother hope all is going well enjoy the rest of the weekend. Take care brother !👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Chris, making some good progress on the old 55 Those of us that Do, - Understand what it takes to get Er Done Yeah its a Bummer to get so far, then a Part Don't Fit or work out right Engineering on the Fly, is how it's Done by all of us Plans Never Work Out You need Creativity to see Possibility's of what Alternative options are Available Marring different parts and pieces together is a Talent Itself Getting it Done one day at a time or More is Reality Good Work Bud ("Congrats!")

Thanks Chris, been nursing the back a little these last couple weeks, the old sciatic is acting up again. Was doing some metal patching on the Dart and got one side of the brakes and axle seals done on my tractor. Doing sandblasting some tractor parts today, seems to be ok on my back. Hey your Model A looks pretty sweet, love that car. It’s cooling off up here too in B.C. chance of some snow in the next week or so, gotta get the long Johns out soon! Lol take care Chris

I'm trying brother 😁 the paint is not as nice as yours! lol and definitely don't want any wheels falling ha! The Vett radiator should fit pretty good. I looked at radiators for about a day on eBay lol just started with different years and makes of vehicles till I found one that would fit. Most of them have the measurements on the ad for them if they didn't I moved on to one that did 😁 I got lucky to find one that was going to work out.
