The photo to the right shows the radiator prior to restoration. As you can see it is a bit on the rough side, but it functionally, it is in good condition.
I spent a few hours today installing the radiator and support. The assembly process was a rather simple one. First, I mounted the radiator to the support and then the radiator assembly to the bracket on the inner fenders. I will be fitting a thermostatically controlled electric fan to the front of the radiator.
I have also ordered a new air filter for the side-draft Weber carburetor. There was a slight clearance problem with the one I had in stock. You can see the "old" filter base in the photo to the right highlighted with blue tape.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
