    you only need one if your engine overheats or if you have a low pressure cap or faulty cap so if that is the case i would fix the actual problem instead.

     

    On the ground was fine back then lol.

    Not true,all vehicles after the early '70s now have one for a reason. some expansion and contraction of coolant is normal hence the purpose of the coolant reservoir so coolant can be pulled back into the rad on cool down and push back into it (especially after shut down) to make a closed system. Take the old Ford rads that had the rather large top tank shaped like a tent. If you fill them right to the top it's going to spit coolant out, keep coolant just above the rad fins leaving the tank part mostly empty all is good. But we want to have maximum amount of fluid in the system for max efficacy so fill to the rad right up and have a reservoir :)

    So gett'in down to the nitty gritty in the paint dept. Gonna paint the engine bay, suspension and shaker scoop in antique flat black from Chassis Saver. The blackout hood option is going to be sprayed with SEMS hot rod black (with a drop of flattening agent. 

     

    Anyone go go that Route?
