Re: Update on my car and a Questions

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect the new radiators are okay stored dry because they have not yet had H20 and rust from the engine circulate. I made the same mistake on radiator storage. This weekend I plan to rinse the one I have lying against the wall out with water then fill it with antifreeze for now. It may be too late, but I will find out eventually! 

Paint is mostly about prep. Good prep = good adhesion. POR has detailed prep requirements that if you do not follow exactly the POR will eventually peel off. Don't ask how I know. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
