I see in the pics you have added AC. Does it get hot in MN? It's freakin hot here in TN.

Thanks for the pics. Hope you post more.
Thanks Ron! The locks are from Steeda for Mustangs. I thought they would drive the point home if someone was foolish enough to start fiddling with it.

The thread is wrong, likely metric, but it's the correct diameter, so I figured there was enough material to just re-tap them, which I did and it works.

It gets very hot and humid here in the summer. Land of 10K lakes. It's in the mid 80's most of the summer and hits 90's now and then, but the real problem is the humidity. As they say, it's not the heat, it's the humidity!

I put about 100 miles on it yesterday just wandering the countryside aimlessly with the wife, and I can't express how much more she enjoys the car now. It got downright miserable without A/C last summer...stopping at every shady bench we could find. This year, we've reached a whole new level of enjoyment.

Even with the added cost of the new radiator and fans, my wife exclaimed yesterday that it was the best $2500 I've ever spent.
