Finally got tired of watching the temp gauge creep over 230 in traffic. Bought the car with a small alum rad that didn't fit right and wouldn't cool the car. I bought a new 26" Champion 3 row unit to install in place of the factory sized 22".Before you purists cringe,remember this car has been modified and altered before I got it and I am not trying to put it back original, just upgrade and make it a nice dependable top down cruiser. That being said, I cut out about 3 1/2" on the passengers side support and took a piece of1/4" x 1 1/2" flat stock and cut a piece to fit in below the top rail and the lower support. I welded the piece to the edge of the new opening and top and bottom supports. The result is stronger than the factory bracket. With a factory shroud and new 180 stat, this should take care of the cooling needs and the addition of A/C in the future.
