Old Newby

[4vnut]

Hi everybody, My name is Dee Bagwell from upstate S.C. and thought I would finally join after being on other sites long ago and wanted to just get back in the game since my son in law just bought a Hemi Cuda at Scottsdale last month. I have been coaching him on the fine arts in the Mopar field since he also drives a 2018 ZL1. Fast car that one is. Anyway I myself restored my 71 GTX from the ground up during it's 4 year rejuvenation. Finished it in the year 2000, drove it for about 3500 miles over an 8 year span then parked it in 2008. Got'er back out of the crip a couple of years ago and been fighting a lower radiator hose leak since then. 2 new hoses and still leaks. Cleaned rad nipple good and applied gasket shellac, still leaks. So it's still drooling in a bed pan that I provided as a courtesy for my shop's floor, and to save that green go H2o and pour it back in.
So that's a little about me and hope I can help when I can. Old carb rebuilder from way back hence 4vnut.

It's collecting dust in the shop with everything else. Health issues put me down for a few years so never got to use it.

Welcome from the burbs of Chiraq!

Regarding your rad leak, could it be sneaking down from higher up?
