Good to know. I didn't want to...just saw that most everyone on Stovebolt was saying you had to.

Yeah, I already laid it out, I was just paralyzed by the lack of the "outer" center bow. I DO have the structural center bow...so after awhile I got to thinking, "Why can't I just butt up the two headliner pieces and screw a piece of stainless strip over the top of the butt joint? I think I can make it work. First, I've got crusty, but non-penetrative surface rust on the underside of the roof. I need to sand that off and coat it with Master Series or POR-15, insulate it, then do the headliner.

If anyone has one they want to get rid of, drop me a PM.

In keeping with the "Small Stuff" thread title:


I tried to flush the radiator for fresh coolant today. I drained it; there was VERY depleted antifreeze w/ some rust already developing. Refilled & ran it up to temperature TWICE, drained/refilled it w/ water both times and still got some rustiness coming out so I will continue tomorrow. Anyone know if there is a block drain on an older (70's) 350?
