Default The Cuda got some love
Several months ago the water pump gave up and it was quite a pain in the ass to get the right parts but a nice woman at my local NAPA got me the right one finally. During the water pump replacement I noticed the radiator was pretty ratty looking and a replacement [exact replacement] was very expensive and rebuilding was probly impossible, so we started looking for an aluminum aftermarket and purchased a Champion 3 core aluminum radiator and electric fans. It took some fabricating/modifying to install but the car runs cooler than it ever did. However in the process of this my vision of a stock looking engine bay had gone to retro rod style look, I have some other goodies coming to spruce up this old girl!!!!!!
