Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: Filled radiator and ran the motor to operating temperature a couple of times (the second time after shutting down I noticed some coolant spewed out of the overflow tube onto to ground). The temperature seems to have normalized at 195° without climbing any further, but this was in neutral and not in drive. I hope this is an indication the shroud is living up to its true potential. After it has proven itself, I will remove it for final painting (for now it only has a coat of OSPHO).
