try again

 

 

I got my radiator back today and managed to get it in. I forgot hose clamps thoughUnder $400 for a really nicely recored radiatorThe guy on the other side of town wanted $600 for a recore and $475 for a chicom POS.

 

That looks good. When I bought mine I couldn't find anyone to record it n the time frame I needed. So I went with the aluminum one. When I took mine out it came out n three piece

 

Mine had the solder broke where the frame goes over the top tank and the header plates were broke loose.
I really like the radiator guy I had do this one He does his work as if he were going to use it himself.

 

Mine has a couple places the solder ha started to loosen from, was going to swing by a local rad shop and see what they want to re-solder the rad.

Looks good mark....can't complain for that price!

 

An anomaly...by today's standards. Good for you finding him

 

This afternoon I got a little done. I got some paint on my battery tray and got the panel started for my headlight relays.

 

this morning I got the headlights and wired mostly. It all needs to be tied up bit I will wait for the wheel wells and battery.

 

That looks really good....nice and clean!

 

It's so clean you can see right through the fender wells. Must be that hi tech clear plastic they're using now a days....

 

Thanks Brian, I am pretty happy with the way it came out. All the plugs came with crimp on terminals so the pigtails are eliminated.

 

Aaauuuuuggg, my wife's Cherokee won't pass smog again!! The only thing that changed since it passed last time was I replaced a MAP sensor.
The problem is fixing it is time consuming and and costs $30.00 for every re try. then we are moving in 5 months to a place that doesn't require smog on 30 year old vehicles.

So the Dodge has to be on the road by the end of the month.

I have almost enough parts to make the Dodge go but it is raining and I am running out of stuff I can do on it inside. You might say when it rains it pours..

Maybe i will do some sewing.like this. First try at a complete seat with nothing to go by for a pattern.

 

Mark, you look so serious on that sewing machine. Very dominating, LOL!


You truly are a craftsman! If I was stuck in an island, playing in that stupid survivor show, I'd definitely want you on my team!

 

Thanks Augie, I was watching the presser foot on the machine. I using it as a guide to keep those seams parallel and keeping all three layers under the foot and not bunching up. Not my favorite seam I looks lopsided to me, I like the french seam better. tho one with three rows of seams.
