Man - I can't add a single thing to this chain as you guys have said it all. EVERY car in a show was a "kit" at the time they were being built. Detroit iron took a whole CREW of factory workers to put it all together and they were getting PAID to do it and as fast as posible! I have had comments about my car asking if it is a "kit". I am both offended and pleased at the same time. Offended because I painstakingly put the car together from parts I scrounged and or made by hand and relied upon my own enginuity, and ambition. Pleased because it must have appeared to the observer to be well designed and worthy of being manufactured. I know there are people who say "who cares what others think" but then if we didn't care, we never would have built the cars in the first place - we certainly would never enter them in a display for judging. Remember - we are HOTRODDERS and THAT is what it's all about! :wall:

One very important point to remember about shows, of any kind, they are politics, pure and simple, most know the winners before it starts. :wall:

JJ I can get you a picture of it tonight but it is a 32 ford radiator and has a bracket that is made for the support rods. This came on the radiator.

If the radiator keeps breaking loose, there is a very good reason, fix that first,,like tire balance (rear) tire size? each the very same size?? Have the rear tires trued and balanced by a good tire shop. If you are running MT Tires, you probably will never get your T to ride smooth, as they get flat spots from sitting, and the car is too light to get them back to round again.. Solid engine mounts can cause the radiator to have all sorts of problems... Just Me here ... :lol:
