I'm Exhausted

It's been a busy couple of years, chasing cars and surgeons. I am getting after the cars now.

The '34 Chevy and the Corvette went down the road  this summer and a 1940 Ford Coupe appeared in Eastern Arizona.

This was a show car built in the mid 90's in New Mexico. Some one did a very complete fabrication with excellent detail. I was fortunate to find it.

Age and a more forgiving seasonal temperature caused a few issues with cooling and the tires were dated 1993.

I serviced the engine and transmission and the cooling issue remained. At that time, a Weiand 144 supercharger fell into the garage and allowed a more complete engine and cooling service.

A plugged radiator and a wee electric fan were the answer. The main culprit was the radiator pluggage caused entirely by the corrosion of a wire liner in the lower radiator universal hose. the expensive radiator core was plugged with small white beads that were growing by the hundreds in the wire liner.

This is Fabulous Las Vegas with temperatures 105/115 in the summer. More cooling is required with an engine containing corrosion residue.

1. A new Champion radiator with  an 18" Perm A Cool reverse rotation Flex fan.

2. Elevate the radiator 2" to better center the engine driven fan.

3. HD Spal 16" pusher fan on the front of the new radiator.

4. And the serviceable coolant filter from Champion to prevent this from recurring.

More soon......
