Well..... They make them, but the real question is do they fit... And do they look original?
It is still pretty easy to find an old radiator and just have them re-cored.

Running out of things to do until the Seat Covers show up....But......Put the Rear Sway Bar on today......Pretty neat......all the dimensions for the Holes are in the assembly manual........Just some advice......If you are going to do any work on your Car....buy a Assembly Manual....It's the "Bible"...Waiting for one more box of "Stuff" to show up tomorrow.....Finishing Details.........Gonna start it tomorrow .......

Well....."All the Parts that showed up today "Fit"....Put on the Fan Shroud, Overflow Hose and all the little clips and fasteners, also put on the Power Brake Hose support Bracket.....Stupid little things ......Took the Battery out of the Blue Convert (Just ordererd a new one last week from Antique Auto Battery) and went to start it........Just one little Glitch.......I put in a Pertronix Ignition Module inside the Stock distributor and had to by-pass the Resistor wire.......I hooked up the By-Pass wire to a Keyed Ignition terminal on the fuse panel....but when I spun the car over to start, it didn't have any Spark...Anyhow....the terminal I hooked it up to lost voltage in the start position......changed it around and it started right up....
Here are some pic's and Video's.......Just need the Seats , should get them at the end of next week...
