Well, Nats North is approaching very soon so this segment will be short.We want to mount the radiator, grill shell and insert.

As you can see in the pictures the shell and insert
have been assembled.

The radiator should have some protection so we have cut out a piece of heavy cardboard to cover backside or exposed area of the radiator.

The radiator we are using is 2" shorter than a stock radiator for a 32. We use a short radiators so we can mount the radiator at a certain height to give the car the look we want.Nothing looks worse than a radiator that is mounted too high and the hood line looks as if it were going up the grill shell, not down to the grill shell. To achieve the correct looking height we have fabricated a couple aluminum mounting blocks.The blocks will be placed under the radiator mounting tabs.The tabs themselves have a 1" drop .With the flat front crossmember we are using spacers are a necessity.

With the radiator mounted we can check the look of the car by placing masking tape from the radiator shell to the cowl . We do this spacing them apart to give us a visual check of the proper height for the radiator . We do plan to run a hood on this car and want to achieve the proper rake for the car.
