    The old plastic holders on the tranny cooler gave way and cooler was sitting loose in front of the rad. Bought new Flexilite brand plastic mounting hardware and remounted the cooler with it's weight sitting on the frame. Had to get a 3 ft length of 3/8 " tranny cooler line to do that. Noticed the mechanic who must have installed the cooler did not flare the steel line when he cut it. I'll get around to that.

    After a long wait, I'm back in the body shop again. I wish I was ready for the round-up in Washington PA, but not; maybe next year. Looking forward to this next phase. Thinking maybe road worthy in September! In shop again.jpg e road worthy in

    Now that I got the oil cooler reinstalled properly I unpacked the fan shroud I bought from Dyent, gave it a final scrub and put two coats of VHT " Roll Bar and Chassis Paint" on it good for 250 F. Not sure why the marking department at VHT wanted to have a "Roll Bar" product but there you go for all you Roll Bar fans.
