What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

new radiator, for sure.

Any recommendations? I see Holley has Frostbite that has both the rad and electric fans, I have an email out to Cold Case to find out some more about theirs. On Atech I also Mishimoto and Be Cool as well as a few others. Gonna search on here to see what others have done but figured you always have something to say 😁

Don't get me started on all that crap. I guess it all depends on how easily you want it to "bolt on/in". I will say that I think paying over $300 for an aluminum radiator is ridiculous (Griffin, Be Cool, etc....), and I think most aftermarket electric fans are junk.
<---- that has a $180, Northern (USA) universal from Scummit and $10 V6 90's Grand Am fans from the pick-n-pull. Add a thermo switch, some relays, and it stays 190 cool in traffic in the dead of summer. The Pig has 4th gen F-body fans on a plastic tank aluminum G-body replacement....

That's what I was looking for

Wow, you like lots of color. It will be easy to find your car in a crowded lot.

That won’t be a problem at all since you don’t see a lot of Malibus in the Netherlands

Cookie sheet, amazon fans, chunk of hose and whatever rad you choose. $140USD off Amazon and an hour or so of of cutting/drilling.

Well I kind of had a good weekend since the car went home, but on the way she got up to 212 degrees which I did not like. Added some more water to her and when I took her out the second time she got close to 200 but did not go over. When I added the water the inside did not look too pretty, so debating on if I want to try flushing the rad or if I want to just go for a new rad and electric fans to be done with it? Had a little water come in near the center console when I washed her for some reason as well which I didn't love. But felt good to get her out and I think everyone I passed had a look with some sort of reaction to it

I would flush first, then go with a new radiator. I suggest the 4th gen F body fans. The ones on my brother's 78 Z28 are straight out of the junk yard.

I cut the cancer out of the right (vs left, not wrong) quarter panel and if I have time tomorrow I'll shape and weld in the the patch. I had to move the GP and I'm amxious to try out the manual brakes. If you remember I had a defective master and I have not tried the GP on the road since I changed the master. The brakes feel real responsive now...

Maybe, one of these days you'll figure out how to provide pics, otherwise, it didn't happen.
