That right, sorry I forget about you snow bunnies  :003: I felt like a fool today testing a new heater core when it was 75F.

    What kind of person tests a heater when the temperature is 75?  If you need some cold and snow we'll be happy to send it your way.
     Donnie don't forget to take pictures when you take your car to the March show.  This will be a good chance to let those chebbies see what they are going to be up against.

Lots of pictures for sure, and not that it's a big deal to some, but Danny and Kevin will be there from the show Counting Cars. I like the show, and my wife will be happy!

That is awesome! More pictures please! Is that a tilt front end? Looks like you have left a few "inner" type piece out of the front, I plan on doing the same.

No it doesn't have a tilt front end, it doesn't even have the original rad support. The whole inner front has been totally redone, I'll try to post pictures to show you. This is the rad I used.

Here are some pictures of the inner front end.

That is a ton of work! Its looks really good. Did you have to raise the engine mounting location to facilitate the fenderwell exit headers?

hotroddonnie

Actually the fabricator custom made the headers at the end of the build, so it works well.

Very nice exicution, HRD, didn't realize the extent of the alterations in the front inards.
