What did you do to your C-body today....

[Joseph James]

Radiator out. Leak at petcock and upper hose connector. Radiator has seen better days. Should I keep and see if I can find a radiator shop to rework this one?

Bolt holes DO NOT all line up. Top left is about 1/2” too low. Part Spectra 332.

I would. A good radiator shop should be able to clean and repair it for a reasonable price. I just had the radiator for my Polara done for $90.

If you can keep the art of radiator repair alive, yes!

Pm me that info, I could drop it off when I go to Illinois in June, and pick it up on my way back from one of my trips past there.

What did I do to my CBody today? SOLD IT.. after PRESURE from Management!!.. she and I had a good run..

Now I can focus on my 77 Sunroof.

There she goes with the new owner. A 23 yr old guy that HAD to have her. He’s a mechanic by trade and loves these old Chrysler’s. He lives out in Long Island NY and has paint and body plans since the mechs are all sorted out.. I mentioned our website, so we'll see. Also a Gentleman agreement of “First Right of Refusal” if he ever besides to sell.

“Bye Bye Momma D”

Sounds like it's going to a good home. She'll make the new owner happy, that's a great thing you've done.....

Agreed.. I did feel good to hand her off to a Young Man. The next CBody generation. should have seen the look on his face when I pulled the cover off.. THAT alone made it easier..

That's awesome!!

The last recore I had done was almost 20 years ago and it was close to $200 CDN. The core alone is more than that now. That rad is beyond a basic rod and clean.

If it has to look original, get yours recored. I would expect to pay upwards of $500 now depending on how hard they want to bend you over for the core. A full on concours resto by Glenray will likely be in the $1200 range but it will be OEM correct in every way.

The form follows function economical solution is a Champion aluminum or similar.

The metal termites stopped holding hands on my parts car....

The upside is, I dragged the cowl section home to pillage for my 73 so I can finish that part of it up..

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

I also rebuilt my heater box this week at work...

Looks like I’ll be bringing my one year only 1995 Chrysler F150. So I’ll be on the ground again under the Tailgate.. Again!

NO COVER!!!!!

 

[Polara_500]

NO COVER!!!!!

Not a standard feature - extra cost option. I'll never put one on an outside car again.

Sounds like you’ve had a bad experience with car covers. I understand.
