Not Ranked
Radiator "Bug Screen"
I had an opportunity yesterday to go to the California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield, Ca. Good show for those of you that have not gone in the past, there is also a similar event for the Mid Westerners near Bowling Green, Ky close to Fathers day next June. It is a historic Drag Racing get together that really lets you see what some of the original cars & people were all about and how drag racing became so popular.
While I was there I saw a product that I was very interested in. It was a somewhat heavy fiberglass screen material, with a grid size like a screen used on a home window. It had a cloth sewn border about 3/8" wide and was made to fit in front of the radiator and grill of many of the street rods that were in attendance and on display. With a little velcro in lieu of the metal cone type spiral springs that were used on the others I think something like this would work well for our cars too. Has any one tried this or seen it used?
