    Part 2

    I finally took the carnage out of the car today. Here's what the parts look like apart from each other. That radiator is worse than I first thought. :eek:

    Terry; glad you got it apart. What did you decide about the shroud? Let me know if we can fix it. I will be off on Tuesday...so let me know.

    Nice Radiator. You should bring it to a radiator shop and ask how much to braze it up.:p

    Hey, Ray,

    For some reason, when I see your picture, the name Maynard G. Grebbs comes to mind. Are you old enough to remember him? :D

    Yes well thanks to the magic of syndication, a young feller like myself can remember both Maynard and Gilligan.
    Thanks Nick at Night!
