Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Well, finally got the radiator back from the repair shop. Took awhile to go thru the line before me and the repair process. Almost like the radiator shop was the only game in town, which they are unfortunately. Only radiator shop within a 50 mile radius that I know of. And they stay busy enough to prove that.
Radiator back in, took the opportunity to change out the flex fan and went with a six blade steel Derale fan. Also installed a two piece ABS fan shroud at the same time. White spray painted the fan tips as a reminder to keep fingers out of the area, LOL .

Again, plan for it's first show outing this up coming week end. Third time I've planned for such, hope the 3rd time is the charm thing works out this time, LOL.

Will post up pics later of the radiator, fan, shroud combo after get the 57 out for a short run and some more gas. The dual fours on it do get thirsty and I can't seem to resist a quick stab of the GO pedal.
