The fan hit the radiator because the cotter pin fell out or there wasn't one! :confused: So far I have taken the radiator to 1 parts house & 2 radiator shops. The parts house said to get it fixed even though they have one. So I took it & got the radiator fixed. Then I took it to another...

Too funny! Wasco is 27 miles N/W of Bakersfield

Awesome photos! Did you really take those this year! In California we don't see much of that! WOW! Joanne M

Thanks for all of the input. I went to another radiator shop & he said he could sell me a new one or rebuild with a new core. He is going to give me prices on both options. But he also said that the new radiators are thin type metal and he thought it would be better to rebuild what I have...

My fan blade hit my radiator and knocked a hole in one of the tubes. I got it repaired and had it checked to be sure there weren't any leaks. There are none. When I took it back to have it installed the mechanic thought it looked like crap! He wants me to get a new one! Can anyone look at...

Ok thanks. We are working on it!

hmmmm. Well there was water on the ground when we got back & it was only a quick trip. So I am guessing it does now!

I am bummed because we drove my V8 and it seems the flywheel moved or something & now I have groves on my radiator. I was planning to take it to a car show in October. Can you guys look at these photos & tell me if I am going to have to get a new radiator or at least take it out & have the fins...

Ok thanks! I knew you guys would have cheaper solutions than going out & buying fender covers!

Hi Charlie, Covers when the car is worked on.

Can anyone tell me where to get the best fender covers? I was reading some of the reviews & some say they are really thin & others say you have to be sure you don't leave them on the car too long or it could take the paint right off the fenders! :eek: So now I am totally scared to purchase the...

Cool! Ok thank you! I won't worry about this then & once I win the lottery I will start working to accumulate the parts & pieces for a 32 engine! Joanne

Ok well I know the water pump was just replaced 3 months ago. Frankly I think I need a numbered diagram so I can learn what these parts are called! You know its the learning curve! I will take photos of all the individual parts & start working to get this accomplished. Thanks

Where to begin???? I now know that I have several parts that need to be replaced; so should I try to have all of the parts for a 37 engine for consistency? Or should I just replace what I have? I think I am a black & white kind of person & I like consistency! Also the guy that has done work...

Sorry Alan, Frankly I didn't realize until after I did my first thread that it wasn't a 32 & then I was kind of stuck in what to do.
