Well I wasn't planning on upgrading the radiator this soon but when you find exactly what you want for a great price you just have to do it. Bought this Mckinney double pass radiator complete with fan shroud and Spal fan. I bought an OEM RB lower radiator hose and a Z32 lower radiator hose to modify for the upper. The CX Racing cross over pipe kit with silicone couplers has given me nothing but problems. Constantly springs leaks, the latest leak spilled coolant on top and inside the alternator and now I have a battery drain problem which has caused my battery to drain down enough times to kill it. The hot coolant inside the alternator probably fried a diode and is now bleeding off my battery. So that's why I'm going with good old fashion rubber hoses now! The elimination of that cross over pipe will look so much cleaner..

All bolted back together. I'm going to take the car here http://alignment-plus.com/ to get everything aligned properly. There's also truck scales close by so I'll be able to get the car weighed the same day.

Got both sides of the suspension on now, just need to get the toe somewhat good enough to drive to my alignment shop. A little while back I bought a used Nardi Classic steering wheel from Japan. My 71 had the Nardi Deep Corn which looked really nice but it placed the wheel to close to my chest, I have long arms so I don't need the wheel any closer to me. So went with the classic to keep it closer to the stock location. Love the feel of a quality leather steering wheel. The stitching is white which matches the Sparco seats. Eventually I may get a new shift boot with the white stitching to make the feng shui copasetic.

That could be it. Never know the first name I guess. I think your correct though

So this is way off topic but I would like opinions on what the first name on this signature is. I found a civil war photo for sale and the mans last name matches mine. He may be in my family tree but I don't want to pay for the thing unless I can confirm what the guys first name is. What do you think?

Passenger side is nearing completion, just need to torque everything to specs. Everything has lined right up without any issues. I've painted the outer tie rods and also cleaned and painted the steering knuckles. I think I'll do the traction control rod while it's off just to hit everything. I re-greased the steering rack while everything was off. Installed zerk fittings on the rack and pumped fresh grease in, no old grease came out so the thing was basically bone dry. I had a spare steering rack laying around that I was able to salvage a used boot with out any rips to replaced one of my ripped ones.

Yeah....it was time

Good point, Ill put a coat of paint on them.

Front suspension refresh almost underway! New ball joints, outer and inner tie rods, and techno toy tuning roll center adjusters.
