 :iagree:

I dealt with this too. I added an overflow bottle so that helped a bit and it looks nice. I've just been testing so far but I guess it's about time for actual antifreeze.

 :-[   It is embarrasing to go to a carshow or cruis'in and puke water under your ride.
Get a small plastic bottle like a baby bottle and place it below the rad paint it black and nobody
will see it. 
If you have an original mopar rad.  Don't fill the rad above the plate, inside tank,  :thinkerg:  above the rad core.
Nice ride.
If you can afford them, get the Gran Coupe grill insert.

 I think i have found away around it!  I found that if I just let her idle in place about 2 min before shutting her off she don,t puke.

It looked and sounded good!  Thanks for the ride today! :clapping:  :burnout:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Yes I am having alot of fun driving her. She may not look to sparkly up real close but she runs like a cuda. I am going to take a drive up highway 14 into the Gorge on the Washington side here when the weather returns to normal. Right now everything is frozen out that way! Prolly some snow past Goldendale. Lyle is last chance gas though for quite a while.

It might take you 20 or 30 tanks of gas but you'll make it.  :bigsmile:

At 10mpg, that'd be about right!

Hopefully if the weather forcasts are correct I will go for a drive and try to shoot some worthy exhaust misic video for all here today! Will try to locate a master cylinder lid seal that I can cut for doubling up the seal. Cody pointed out that my lid was leaking and already bubbled the paint in a spot  :banghead:  and repair a coil wire that was getting cooked , Guys got good eyes.  :thumbsup:  :ylsuper:


Merry Christmas Eve!

that looks great  :2thumbs:  how`s the feel?
just noticed my seat upholstery is the same as yours. Is that a gc only thing?  I never saw a similar set. Not original to my car, it was tan from factory.
