Flex-a-Lite make a great new radiator/fan combo.
This is just about a dead bolt-in &amp; the fan pulls 3300cfm.
We put one in a Big Block that was running
220-230 with a 4 core, shroud &amp; hi-flow mech fan;
it now runs @ 190 with the A/C on in traffic.
I bought this one the next day.</font>

Re: Getting ready for paint ...
 

<font color="blue">Got my new garage cabinets today.
Since the car is in the body shop, I can take advantage
&amp; rejuvinate the space for the homecoming.

Now, where do I put them ...
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...cabinets/2.jpg

there's nothing like having pals around to put stuff together https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Re: Getting ready for paint ...
 

<font color="blue">Went to the body shop to get the car ready for the rotosserie &amp; pick a final color.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...o/DSCN0163.jpg

this is one choice

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...o/DSCN0171.jpg

The other choice we had to order paint for.
New pics as soon as available.</font>

Re: Getting ready for paint ...
 

That's an original Motion car right? What are the chances of painting it's original color / scheme? I think that might look cool if it kept some resemblance of what it once was.

Re: Getting ready for paint ...
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gifI'm a little biased Mike but I think going with the original paint colors and a MOTION stripe scheme would be pretty cool considering everything else on the car has been changed.

<font color="blue">Dave &amp; Chris,
I am considering a Motion paint scheme.
The original body color was Black, which I am sticking with.
The striping is what will be interesting.
The color you see is going to be for the chassis &amp; rollcage. I will continue that color into the stripe.

I am debating between Mark Hassett's style, The 'NEW' Motion style or the Gen2 'Phase III' style.
I think the Gen2 would be the over the top, considering the color &amp; the airbrush work I have in my head.

I have a few weeks to decide ... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif </font>

Re: Garage is almost there...
 

<font color="blue">Getting the garage ready for my Camaro to come back from the body shop. Can't wait.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...s/DSCN0179.jpg

I had to put new floors. No matter how much I cleaned the old ones, they still looked like cr*p.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h2...s/DSCN0180.jpg

I am sure glad I did it. It looks terrific.

The Camaro is on the rotisserie getting the rockers &amp; the chassis done this week. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif </font>

Re: Garage is almost there...
 

Garage looks great Mike! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Garage is almost there...
 

<font color="blue">Thaks Bruce.
All alone for the floor project. Freinds are at the Gators. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif
Unfortunatly I could not go, but it will be worth it when I am done.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

BTW: I found this classic buried in the garage.
MaxTrac H70-14 Brand New with an old MOON disc hand painted sign
