Drove the Max Wedge today

[DanbMaxie]

My old Dodge now has a name. I had a front plate made as a tribute to my father. I think it looks perfect. He was born in NY and the car was originally sold in NY.

While he was at my buddy's shop I had a compound, buff and wax done. The paint looks freakin amazing.

Drove it around the last couple of days and it Looks like I will be replacing the radiator. I'll probably go with glen-ray to keep the original look. Definitely need a shroud. He ran a bit hot. Plus the rad is not correct and has some scale in it.

My father never put enough miles on it to shake out the bugs. Dvorak stills ******* that it has not been raced yet.

A few pics...

Thank you. Right now I am waiting on a new radiator from Glen-Ray. Then I can start putting some miles on it.
