  3. Looks like its on a 30-31 frame the front crossmember is different than 28-29. Thats why the hood runs uphill. Clean looking roadster though

    Thanks for the input.
    I noticed it right away when I looked at the car.

    For some reason there are rubber spacers stacked up under the radiator. I haven’t gotten a chance to look into it further other than noticing that. Certainly enough to create the high grill.
    Looks as though the cooling system was recently serviced, as it also came with several boxes of new cooling system parts including a fan some pulleys and a few other pieces.
    I drove it all around for 30-45 min last night with no overheating issues.
    I’ll make it right.

  5. There should be thin rubber pads that the radiator sits on the the springs and nuts go on top of the radiator ears

    Yes I’m familiar however there is at least 1/2” of them stacked on one another.
    To raise the radiator way up. I understand there should be shims there but something isn’t adding up.
    Minor detail.
    I’ll get it sorted

  21. Very cool, but it should have a Model A Roadster body on there. JW
