The twin hoes

[Sparksalot]

During a trip to Big Bend last week, the radiator in thecopcar burst the upper tank. About a 3” crack near the top. Some JB Weld and a loose pressure cap let me finish the trip and get home. Another 700 miles. After I got home the Cold Case I had been eyeing was ordered and delivered in 2 days from Summit in Fort Worth.

Apparently the design has changed a bit. I didn’t have to do any fan shroud trimming others have done in the past.

After an engine warm up, then test driving about 20 miles I’m pleased. The engine is running 7-10 degrees cooler on the highway. The transmission is 25 degrees cooler.

First and second pics at the edge of Chaulk Canyon. This is where the radiator burst.

Third pic is the other direction from the same spot. The center peak is where I had to limp back to to patch the radiator. 25 miles away.
