Cleaning up Vikingblu

[Vikingblu]

I dont have many pics. Soon, maybe after the weekend.
Dad never installed the outside rear view mirror, due to the misplaced gasket. I find driving on the freeway difficult without the mirror.
So I made a gasket for the long base mirror and rummaged through 3 cans of chrome screws. Found two that fit well, and installed the rear view.
Next the inside rear view mirror is floppy and sags after a few minutes. So thinking about a day night for the inside.
Going to machine polish, glaze and maybe wax the hood. May just use the meguiars final inspection rather than wax. Its super easy and gives a nice luster.

Polished and ready to go!

Sorry Gina...

It's all good, black on the outside has always been my preference!

I am looking to repair or replace my 1963 Futura 6cyl auto, radiator. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Replace it with what? V-8 swap or a bigger six or stock? Many ways you can go. I put a EFI 5.0 in mine. Patrick has a built 302 with EFI , and I think Kenny has a bigger 200 six in his. Let us know what your thinking and we can give you some tips.

Doghows,

Repair/replace radiator... though i think adding a v8 would be better too

[doghows]

My bad, that's what I get for not waking up before I read this stuff...

You could go stock but I upgraded to an aluminum champion radiator. Very affordable and works great...

This is probably a more appropriate response..

I had a leaky 2-row radiator in my 6-cyl, so I went on-line and found a radiator supplier in Lynnwood, I believe (can't remember the name), that offered shipping. I ordered a "stock replacement" radiator and received a spanking new 3-row radiator. It was a tight fit between fan and bulkhead, but it went in! As I recall it was $100~ish.
It had a crappy pet-cock that eventually needed to be replaced... at a cost of about $65.

...but after seeing a second Champion on Gene's spring a leak at the mini-regional I'm a bit skeptical of them (this was his second from them). So I'm in shopping mode at the moment too.
