I ordered me a new 3 row Champion radiator today after work.
I am not sure the factory cooling system is 100 % right now. I did notice the cooling temperature was running around 208 * Sunday while cruising. This was my first time to drive it with the complete interior in the car. Ambient temperature was around 96-97* I had never driven the car with it this hot outside.
I'll post a picture of the new radiator when it gets here one day next week.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 06-14-2012).]

Installed the new inner and outer tie rods from Rodney Dickman. I will install it back onto the car Tuesday morning. We are off of work for June Tenth celebrations.

I was up at 7:00 am on my day off. I installed the rack back in the car. It was sweat city outside by 9:00 am. I am at a good point to stop for today and will re attach all the tie rods and such tomorrow morning at 7.
When I got home from work yesterday it was 110* in the garage. To hot to try to get anything done week days.

I haven't done any work on the Coupe this week. I torqued and lubed the outer tie rods this morning, and put both front wheels back on the car. I will try to get the front end aligned this week.
I will change the oil and filter for the 500 mile after engine overhaul Saturday morning. I am gonna replace one AC seal where the hoses connect to the two long lines behind the drivers seat while I have it up in the air for the oil change.
