Post Re : Randy's Rig

Looking very nice there ! .

Did the grille fit easily or was there moch fooling with it ? . mine is all beat up if still fairly shiny and I want to replace it but I keep hearing horror stories about the repop grilles with " CHEVROLET " stampings .

It was in the low 40*'s this morning @ 0-Dark:30 when I left out , my heater didn't warm up for over 5 miles so mayhap I have the wrong thermostat in there , it might be a 160* from when it lived in TEXAS .

I normally run 185* or 190* F 'stats as the engine runs far more efficiently when it's as close to boiling as you can keep it .
