1940 Dodge Staff Car

Thanks Hano and Sean.

The only trouble I had on the delivery drive from Adelaide was overheating. Radiator was blocked and because the original radiators can not be reamed out with a rod and the solder was getting hard and brittle I decided on a new core.

Nearly fell over at the cost but fitted a 3 core type from a V8 engine with original tanks top and bottom (you can not tell the difference). Also got hold of a six bladed fan from a 1953 Plymouth to replace the original 4 blade.

The radiator people put it through their computer and say it is a complete overkill and the car will be running most of the time on the thermostat. The drive up from Adelaide with the blocked radiator never went over 205 degrees in 37 degree temperature - do you like that, farenheit and centigrade in one sentence!
