Stuart,

The car's standing very tall these days - really sharp, even after 53 years.

Hope you enjoy it a ton!

The charger hasnt been cooling properly on longer rides  and rather them blow up the 74k original 383 the radiator came out to be checked out .
Sent it out to have it boiled out and repair any leaks in the original numbers matching radiator .

Its really hard making decision on what directions to go , just trying to touch everything as little as possible  . I for sure decided it was getting a water pump and a thermostat ,  cooling and safety issues are just on the must do list .  So the radiator shop calls and the radiator was super clogged up and rotten as soon as he tried to boil it out the core would have just fallen apart.  He can recore it and save my original numbers tanks  .I told him to do it  , he ordered a core that has a better tube configuration then original and will cool much better .  For 500.00 bucks i thought that was a steal so now the car should cool great   .

So the next Delema , Everything looks like its never been touched . So im having nightmares that the original timing chain is is still in there and its a ticking time bomb with the Nylon coated gears . I really hate opening more things up and touching more stuff but its a no brainer while all this is already out to just go ahead and put a double steel roller timing chain and gears set in it . I will sleep better and the car be better for it . No sense in ruining the motor .
