Lloyd, I hope your fall hunting trips provide good memories.

I am willing to bet November and December will offer a few clear road days to negate the need for any fuel stabilizer.

My father in law is 81. He still flogs his 4 speed GTO convertible. Plan on the same!

Thank you for the added info.

I can get what you're saying & I respect it. However, probably the most that I'm looking to upgrade to at this time would be (possibly) this fan below to help assist in a pinch if jammed up in traffic, long traffic light, etc.:

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-104364

While Summit seemed to like it and I've seen them installed on Chargers at misc. car shows, my only concern is whether or not this 14" would impede air-flow at 99% regular driving times. Seeing how it's only 14," it would 'seem' to be okay, but may there be any feedback from those who do have this particular fan unit installed, to ask please...?

Thank you again for the responses.
Sincerely,

That fan is physically smaller and is advertised as more CFM than the pusher I'm using, I don't think it blocks any meaningful airflow and certainly helps with cooling in traffic

I was born in 1967 in the Bronx. My father moved us out of there to Westchester. I too am a former squid, Gas Turbine. Made 1st on the way out after 6 years. I did go to the Brooklyn navy yard one time to work on a separator in the engineroom of a tug in drydock, never made it to fleet week or anything fun like that on USS Ticonderoga. I was lucky in that I got to be part of the Pearl Harbor 50th commemoration as well as the Battle of the Coral Sea commemoration.
 I was also lucky enough to have made life long friends from both ships I was on, Uss Fletcher(DD-992) and Uss Ticonderoga(CG-47). Too bad one was sunk and the other scrapped.

Hi Will,

Lived in NY a couple Tims; Hicksville LI to be exact. This was back in 1967 and 1969. Somewhere on a site, I have a speeding ticket posted that I received while heading down to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The cop asked me when I would like to go to court. He gave me several options, I picked one and off I went to the USS Compass Island a super secret ship at that time.

As luck would have it I was ordered to head to Japan to the USNS Michelson T-AGS-23, A super secret ship at that time. Spent another three years on it, totaling about 9 years at sea.

My deployment made it impossible to meet my court date. Never heard from the court so I assume I'm in the clear. I would assume the cop is now chasing "Angels" and has no interest in the one that "got away".

Best

C

Nice product, fills a niche that the steel aftermarket neglects, just a few suggestions perhaps?, sanding the glass smooth were it shows on the top skin underside thru the underside frame/skeleton to better simulate a steel hood before bonding the 2 pcs together?, and fill in your bottom/underside skin mold area were the 4 "crush" zones are to make a Daytona hood, easy mod even with masking tape before release/gel coat, lay-up, then sanded out after dress up to remove the transfer of the masking tape block offs, thus it leaves your mold adaptable for a 69 Daytona hood or a 70 Charger hood, and the customer avoids cutting thru and opening up the skin to remove the crush zone ribs and possibly fubaring the hood.....

    My problem is I am retired and I keep picking up the phone! I have to stop doing that, although I made more money this year than ever before. Heading out to California at the end of the month for another bag of Benjamins. Hard to pass up the $$$$. I don't have but a few more weeks, by the time I get back the snow may fly and then it's over. Stupid winter!!!
    My daughter is getting married so I will bank the outage money. I figure I have a few more outages before I can start hitting the 401.

I'm almost 61 so age is probably not an issue. Get out there and experience what you love.
