First winter project

[Gunner]

I got the first shipment of parts today - not, unfortunately, all of them or even the key ones that would let me get started.

But the Canton oil thermostat came. Boy, it's pretty. And whether I got a substandard one or the ones used for OEM photos are prettied up, it's a much more industrial-looking piece than the pix. Nicely functional-looking, not a billet beauty bar. It will tuck in against the remote oil filter mount and blend into my plain, era-look underhood beautifully. Especially in its muted black and silver finish, with the black hose ends and natural-finish fittings.

Pix of course, when I have them, but I may not tear into things until the TOP runs out Saturday-next. I expect to have to order some alternate parts (different hose end angles) and fab a support bracket and don't want to have rush the job.
