Hi Lee and Shannon , Happy July Long Weekend ! Fun project with great results . Though a bunch last week about the "2nd wave " of hot rodding . Pastel colored paint , the monochromatic look (painted bumpers ) , those modern type molded mirrors and even more I done want to remember . Then came along the Shifters and Burbank Choppers to the rescue . Rod and Custom magazine was being made again on a every 2 months basis then it went monthly again . Don't forget Rodder's Journal , ( open magazine look for Lance Sorchik drawing and say yes , this is normal in my little world ! ) Thanks for another viewing of the roadster pickup , and have a great week .
Happy July weekend to you as well. Hot rodding was definitely going through a dark time before the second wave took over. I grew up around cars, and before the traditional hot rod revival of the late 90’s I never paid any attention to street rods. The boydster styling, the pepto bismol pink, all the tweed… did not appeal to me at all and I had no interest.
Thanks Don. We were just talking about Shannon’s engine swap yesterday. I was tempted to start on it yesterday but we decided to wait until after we get back from Bonneville. There is a lot of events coming up over the next month, so better to take it apart when we actually have time to work on it
Make sure you mount your radiator on compression springs for your final fit to eliminate splitting the tanks due to chassis flexing,looks great,interested in seeing the headlights and bar feature!
I’m not sure if the springs will work with the studs. They normally go on top. That being said, I’ve never had an issue before with chassis flex causing issues. Hopefully this one will be the same case. I think with the frame rails being fully boxed helps, along with no longer having to drive on dirt roads and goat trails. I have a couple options for headlights. Some BLC’s some king bees, and the last swap meet I picked up some 36 Ford headlight buckets.
I did the same in my coupe that was channeled but flipped it upside down so it fit the 32 grille better with the sides that slant. had to move the inlet and out let for a caddy any ways..
Yeah worked great! Hah using one on Tweedy Pie as well don’t need to flip though.. Thanks for watching my stuff and the support.. Digging your channel man!
Question i found a newer Aluminum radiator that is for a 4 cylinder in a Model A but has the water necks for your hoses for the right location for running a small block Ford V8. I also have a fiberglass 32 shell with the stock radiator cap location just wondering if that would work. I am also running a 302 for and AOD out of a 94-95 Mustang GT. I could probably make that radiator work as long as i run a transmission cooler.
Great tips for me to fit a 32 grille to my 29 project
Perfect!
Looking good Lee! Love watching the plasma table in action, I think I better bite the bullet! Love the truck!!
You need one!
That was “super cool” Lee ! lol
I always enjoy your work , Thanks
Haha nice! Thanks for watching Mike

Every session that you do seems more relaxed and enjoyable than the previous one. Great to watch. Can’t wait to see Shannon’s engine swap.

@@LGKustoms I just know that’s going to be a great trip. Looking forward to all the stories.

Thanks for watching!

@@LGKustoms No worries,keep up the good work.
Again, great step by step vid. Thanks
Now I know what rad. To use.i am low buck.that looks great I am building a 29roadster pickup to.steeling some of your ideas thanks
It’s a great rad. They’re like $300 new. Just watch the lower rad outlet, on the 6 cylinder radiators they come out on the opposite side
great channel, hang in there
you;re an undiscovered "Gem"
Haha thanks
We had our radiator custom made to fit inside the grill.
Looks reasonable!
I did the same in my coupe that was channeled but flipped it upside down so it fit the 32 grille better with the sides that slant. had to move the inlet and out let for a caddy any ways..
Cool! That’s pretty clever flipping it upside down.
Thanks for watching! I’ve been watching your videos for like 20 years haha.
Yeah worked great! Hah using one on Tweedy Pie as well don’t need to flip though.. Thanks for watching my stuff and the support.. Digging your channel man!
What about the spring mounts and little rubber pads that a Model A has on its radiator?
Question i found a newer Aluminum radiator that is for a 4 cylinder in a Model A but has the water necks for your hoses for the right location for running a small block Ford V8. I also have a fiberglass 32 shell with the stock radiator cap location just wondering if that would work. I am also running a 302 for and AOD out of a 94-95 Mustang GT.

If the hoses line up and the grill shell fits I don’t see why it wouldn’t work
Nice
Thanks!
Put rubber under the rad mount

The cuts need a round corner. A drill hole is sufficient.
Yeah my walker radiator cost $900.00 but you can't get them anymore. But I have a flathead not a bellybutton.
opps before you cut the grill

Bolting the radiator solid is not a good idea.
