    I love that car and clout. I think I asked before but I forget if you replied; is that stock roof height?

    Yes it is stock height. It might be the only stock height 32 Don ever built. I hope to see Wesley this weekend at the swap meet, I'll ask him. I'm Starting to put the coupe back together, Just got the transmission back yesterday.

    Yes it seems to be working the , fan even with the spacer is about 4” away from the radiator .
    I’m thinking it’s not close enough to pull the air through When stopped at a light .

    You may be right. Are you using an overflow tank? Could get a bit more antifreeze mix in. You are running 50/ 50 mix correct?

    Hey good morning, yes still no over flow yet .
    I just bought the pre mix and keep one in the trunk. Also added water wet .
    It never over heated and blew out went to 220 in traffic or at lights but was able to keep moving.
    I was hoping to add a fan maybe with the black shroud speedway sells . looks like it might fit without changing much .
    Maybe take the spacer off behind the fan if it’s too close.
    There’s a car show by exit 16 Saint Ann’s Sunday are you going?
    Or Maybe meet at Symores or Bills one night

    Can't make Sunday but may do Sycamores one night. I was there a couple of weeks back.
    Keep me posted on the 32 and say Hi to Mom & Dad for me.

    That was my good friend Jim Gombos. Jim p***ed away last year. We were friends since we were kids. We also worked on Hot Rods together as well our own. That Tan 3 window had a Cadillac motor.
