I suspect those prices are if you are looking for the original style fins, honey comb or similar, but if you are willing to go with "new" style it will be much cheaper

Unfortunately I can't help you there, but right about this time last year I was on my way to Gagetown to see my one son and remarked to my wife that I'd just driven 14 hours to get to Woodstock again! Kidding aside with the amount of heavy equipment and what not out there you should be able to find a real rad shop that can take care of you. So long as you have the tanks they can likely build you a rad.

If you are near London, Ont go see Steve at ACE Rad and he might be able to fix you up or at least guide you in the right direction. Don

Today was a milestone day. For the first time in at least two years the hoist is free! My buddy and I rolled the 70 Plymouth wagon out of the way after I discovered yesterday that it has no brakes at the moment. The car fired right up and the I got in it to drive it off the hoist and the brake pedal went right to the floor. After checking the fluid and topping it up I managed to pump the brakes enough to get some pedal feel and then after sitting for about 2 minutes right to floor again. No puddles under the car so I suspect a master cylinder issue but that will have to wait for another day to be confirmed. In the meantime the hoist is now clear to use and the first patient is my buddies '75 Triumph TR6. Up in the air for an oil change and brake inspection. He has the rad back after a re-core and with any luck the car will be all back together in the next couple of days. I did get a good chuckle as he has never used a hoist before and he was a bit like a kid in the candy store - put the car up, put the car down, put the car up, put the car down.

On the chance someone reading this thread just happens to have one, what manifold are you speaking of? Never know you might get lucky

My father inlaw belongs to that group but I'm not sure if he's going or not. For those wondering about this Sunday here's the details And I just moved the trailer inside today to load it up! I'll start loading tomorrow a bit but Saturday is supposed to be a bet wet so I'll finish loading the truck and trailer then. And finally a plug for the local cruise night. Depending on weather it can range from 30 to 40 cars to 100 or more. Good mix of restored and modified cars and the fries are excellent!

Why do you guys keep making me go down the rabbit hole of searching for other similar trucks???? Apparently they were called sedan cabs and Ahrens Fox built some pretty wild looking ones

I'll put this out there at the risk of ridicule of others - I was the guy for the better part of 30 years doing those traffic stops and giving out the tickets and while I fully believe in safe driving, traffic enforcement is not a black and white issue that cameras turn it into. I would estimate that less than 1/3 of the motorists that I stopped ever got tickets. My point was always the interaction with the driver. I recognized the potential financial impact on them, both from the cost of the ticket but also the potential impact on their insurance cost. A few years before I retired ( I worked for a local municipality) I was at a meeting with area politicians and the commander of the local OPP detachment (think State Trooper) and we both stated that if they were to implement speed cameras in our area that they should not be set below the speed that officers would actually issue a ticket for it to be accepted by the public - in Ontario that is generally about 15 kph or 10 mph over the posted limited. Not every officer is the same but even in our world we considered anything lower as offside. At the end of the day my opinion was that it was a human making the error and when you remove the human interaction at the start of the process it is unfair and nothing but a money grab and not about safety. So far in my area no cameras and I would not support them.

Todays adventure was to pick up a small load of literature that I bought from an online auction Not a lot of pieces but all good stuff that I know it's hard to believe but I don't already have. A little added bonus was picking up lot of hanging file folders for free from an area library that they had posted on another auction site. Those have already gone into the filling cabinets for owners manuals and sales brochures. I've been trying to work through this bin of Chrysler Miller tools - these are the dealer tools spec'd in the repair manuals. For those not in the know the car companies pretty much ship these to the dealers with an invoice, and they are not cheap and they are obligated to take them. The reality is that there is not a lot of demand in the aftermarket for them and most are made so robust that the shipping is a killer but I still refuse to scrap them.

This '70 Plymouth wagon - bought, then traded for body work on another car. Body man did the work on the wagon while he had it then turned his interest to another car and wanted the money out the wagon and back it came.... Next time it's sold it will be with a no return policy! Don't get me wrong, I like the car but at this point I like space even better!

Location? Price? Title? Welcome but at least some details would definitely help.

This is what I have - the one on the left someone had marked as being 36. That one and the middle one are driver quality with a few dings and a little road rash, the one on the right is a wall hanger. From what @Scott Bonesteel I think the left one is the only correct one - it is quite a bit deeper, more rounded than the other two. PM me if you are interested and I will send along some more pictures. Don This one is about 8 1/4 to 8 1/2 in diameter and is marked as being 36 though I'm not certain on that

That's a given in these parts!

Sometimes I'm glad that my shop is full! I'd love to have the car though
