    Radiator differences?

    First Ride

    Another model a pick up is now on the road in Maryland. I have put together a 1931 pick up from many different sources. Tonight was my first drive out on the open road. Lots of rattles and noises. But we made it out and back with no issues. Still lots to do to it, but all in time. Walter
