The original Mustang radiator was a 2 core, which is what I am currently running. I’ve saved that link for the 3 core for future reference. Last Saturday morning when it was cool I drove mine to work apx 17 miles. By the time I got there the temp gauge was just climbing over 200*. Before I came home in the heat of the day I dumped (2) bottles of R…[Read more]

Any chance you have a photo of the guides you used or the router bit?  I have a router just haven’t used it much.

Original 1952 MGTD with punched louvers in metal hood.  Posted so you could get an idea of what louvers would look like on top of hood.  I had considered grafting metal louvers into my replica fiberglass hood.  But I would be glad to have you do it first and let us see how well it turns out.
