Saturday so I headed off to Dad's House with the parts for the Radiator parts. After a ride to a friends place for some 5/16ths Copper Tubing we had our Vent line and returned Home to Solder it all up.. Back at the Garage I put it all together to see how it FITS and added the Spacers that move the Shell one-inch UP for clearance on the top so I can use the original location for the Radiator Cap.. Check it out ! -Rob

@KelleyMag - That old one actually can be tested.. It's rated at 15-psi on it so all we need to do is build up some pressure with the Radiator FULL and pray she let's go at that 15.. :^)

Very interesting stuff. Where will you be getting a new cap? Will you make one or try to buy one somewhere ... Will it be in keeping with the "old look" of the car, or something brand new .. modern?
Hopefully you will keep it old-looking. I think it would look out of place if it's brand new. Even if no one else sees it!
