Dumb all the way, but typical CA:
I drive my car about 1500 miles a year...if that.
There are probably ride along mowers that have more miles than that in a year.
Installed the new radiator this past weekend, and took a nice test drive for about an hour, no leaks !!
Radiator looks good, and works perfect.
I did new coolant, new upper and lower hoses (although I didn't need too),
a new thermostat (probably didn't need that either), (2) new 13 # radiator...
Welcome from Southern CA.
Nice ride, and there's lot's of talented guys and gals on this site to help out when needed.
Nice shop you have there too, looks like you're ready to handle any project !!
Hello Everyone, here is the latest update on my radiator problems.
Tom's Radiator called me Thursday last week with 3 options:
1. $295: Disassemble complete, clean out all old solder joints, bead blast all components, re-assemble using my original core, solder back together, pressure test...
Screwed here in CA, the clowns just passed an additional 11% tax on all guns and ammo this year.
That's on top of the 7.75% sales tax too, and the dealer fees and background check fees.
Not cheap to own a gun in CA..... or anything else by the way.....
Thanks for all the input guys.

I had my radiator in 5 weeks, but, I'm paying the price now.
Live and learn, but I'll get through it.
I came across this old school radiator shop close by, and I think I'm in good hands now.
He was...
I'm also using basic Prestone in there, Yellow Bottle, 50/50 with Distilled Water.
The inside of the core looks brand new at all the tubes and everywhere else.
Coolant was changed after each leak, so probably one year old coolant at any time in it's life...if that...
I suspect bad solder joints, and that's the consensus from Tom's Radiator too.
He's going to take it apart and re-solder it back together....Hopefully for the last time for many years to...
When I bought my car, it had everything wrong with the coolant system and was overheating badly.
Wrong size and model radiator, no fan shroud, no clutch fan, water pump bad, hoses old and brittle, wrong thermostat, etc....
I worked for months to get it back together, and one of the parts I...
Yep:
I have Rob's Headlight Relay Kit in my '67 GTX, awesome Headlights now.
Way to go Rob for giving us great quality parts.
If you need lighting or cables, Rob is the man !!
Thanks for all the Birthday Greetings Gentlemen !!
I woke up this morning, did the usual, "What hurts now" when you get out of bed.
I saw the drywall, was upright, and everything is good !!
Awesome ED.

Everyone down south needs a little help right about now.
