The heat here in Zona has been brutal, but I managed to get a few things done. I finished up the cam and lifter install that I got from cutlassefi, runs great. After the break in I rebuilt the carb as I had some tuning problems. Look at the rod imagine that, runs real good now after a rebuild.
I also installed a Champion 3 core radiator, this was a direct bolt in, my car has a 65 lower core support so it allows the taller 65 radiator I also changed out the 64 only pump and put a 65 on it. This radiator works well with no overheating problems.

Sooooo can you guess what happens when you use 5 year old glass primer to save $20 bucks? Yep, you get to buy everything and do it again.

Where did you get your quarter window trim clips? I'm getting ready to do the same job (after I repair the rust in the window channels
) on my '65 Buick Special wagon. All my clips were rusted and some were unrecognisable.My65wagon4-17-12001.jpg

I love watching a good build happen, even if it takes years. You're doing a great job, keep it up.
