Radiator Master Globalization. Once I cut the corner to fit the bottom, everything else lined up great. I will be finishing the detail work today and fire it up. So far, the only other fitment issue was with the shroud.

I’ll grab a champion one then. Thanks.
Broke it! In the “constant nickel and diming” category, my clutch pedal spring exploded on my way home from running some errands today.
Sounded worse that it was (almost like a gunshot followed by a good “wack” in my left shin.
Got home just fine - anyone happen to have a part number handy? (I will search later)
EDIT: think I found it - 90506-12450 for posterity

..need more space in my garage ... moving body out..
I'm thinking of doing something very similar.
It take 2-3 hours .. but a lot of storage space .. I can move some more parts there
and work on chassis ..

I like that you keep the bumperettes
Installed cityracer's plug and play OEM fog light kit and headed out to find some epic fog.
Also, painted the dash knobs with semi-decent results

So did I, unfortunately I didn't have good luck with an aluminum one. I'm not sure of the manufacturer.

I have a Champion radiator in my 45. There were several fitment issues during the install and now after 10k miles it is weeping antifreeze in multiple places! I’m sure it will split a seam in the future.

Got my heater for my 64 painted and ready to install.
It's a brand new heater, but matches the old one I pulled out perfectly.
Pretty happy they still make them.
Even going to install the defrost option!

Moved on to the heater switch.
The one that comes with the kit is designed to be mounted under or in the dash. But the knob doesn't match the the vintage vibe of the 64s dash...
I am using a carb with aftermarket auto choke, so I don't need a choke cable... hmmm...
Decided to yank the choke knob off the choke cable and mate it to the heater switch.
Looks good and functional without messing with the aesthetics.

I'm ordered a arb bumper for my tow rig for my 40-a 80 series with a v8. @Skydog photoshopped the bumper on for me so I could get an idea of what it would look like in different color schemes. Even gave it a moab background! Pretty cool. Next week I'm going to try towing the 40 for the first time and see how it does.

How is your roof rack tied in to the rear bumper? Wondering what that setup looks like. Killer setup you have on that cruiser, love it.
