Chopper, it sure makes you wish you were working on an old Chevy. Just reach over the fender and take it off😁  For me...takes me a while just to find the alternator on almost any newer car🥴

Sixball, i wish i could remember what company my buddy got my 32 aluminum radiator from. It wasn't expensive, but seemed well built and the fins are fairly stout.

All done, and it was, sort of a snap. Not as bad as I thought, but you sure have to move alot of stuff to get to it. Glad it's done.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Glad it wasn't too bad Chopper!

I put some stabilizer in the 33 yesterday and took it for a good ride.  Temps were in the high 60's here!  Supposed to get colder so I don't know how many more rides I'll get!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

TFock, what were the stabilizers for?

Fuel stabilizer for storage.

My nephew just bought a house in south Jersey. Tucked away back in the woods on his property is the car below. I think it's an early 50's Hudson, what do you guys think?
My first thought was to drag it out of there, but on closer inspection there is not a panel on the car that does not have major rot, I think this one is a loss :(

Could it be a 1952 Mercury?

Pull it out and clean all the debris.  Put it on bringatrailer.com for $1,000 . See what happens.
I don't think it's a total loss.  Possibly a future rat rod. 🐀

I think you got something there, Tom! I think you're right.
Rattiac, I want to pull it out but I'll tell you I don't think it's worth it: floor caved in, big hole in roof, no hood, doors rotted apart at the bottom. Only thing that might be salvageable is the trunk lid.

Get a five gallon bucket oF Bondo and go for it!

Putting a new dash in a 80's square body chevy truck today.  LMC China crap,  fits terrible.  Walked away for now. 
Even though all clips are lined up and slid in,  there's a big gap near the windshield.
