Hi Phil,

Glad to hear you found your leaks.  Water on the outside is one thing, but
on the inside sucks!  Good move filing the trailer idea away.  Before I
transferred from Phoenix to Tampa I bought a trailer, it turned out to be
cheaper than renting one.  Right now a co-worker is using it to haul hay and
he's storing it indefinately for me - there's no place to keep it at my
townhouse!

I should be getting the new rad next week some time so if anyone is
interested in a slightly used 4 row brass/copper rad for a 66 let me know
($200 + shipping obo).  Once I replaced my screwed up thermostat, it kept my
big block cool on Power Tour.  Going down the highway it typically ran
around 180-185 and in traffic with the A/C running it ran (believe it or
not) as low as 172 to 180.  I'm sure the twin Spal fans had a lot to do with
the temps so whoever ends up with this rad - your temps may vary. :)

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Window sealing & Trailoring


Hi Herb:  Spent the afternoon with my guru Bob Wilcox of MCC.  You know who
got in the trunk with the flashlight.  Wasn't bad though.  Found both leaks.
The easy one appeared to be a small piece of the trunk weatherstripping.  We
put alittle goop on it and hope it seals.  The other spot appears to be from
the rear window molding area.  The curse of Chevelles.  Like someone said
Sunday, "They leaked right out of the factory."  Gotta pop out the rear
windshield & see whats going on in there.  Hopefully it's just a reseal and
not a rust out job.

About trailers, now that I know I leak, I plan to watch the weather channel
even closer and stay out of the rain.  A little spritzy shower if caught
won't hurt to bad.  It was so beautiful driving yesterday, I think I'll tuck
the trailer thing in the back of my head & just enjoy the rest of the
summer.  Got a lot of cleaning up to do this weekend so not going to any
shows.  Especially since I was learning to judge front & rear suspensions,
exhaust systems & undercarriages.  Damn all that &%#&+@ RAIN.  See you at
the Laurel Parade & Show July 5?

BTW. Thanks for the Ron Davis Radiator stuff.  Showed it to Bob W. and he
got right on the phone & ordered dealer info brochures.  Appears to be the
Griffin alternative as their prices are UP!!
