65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
While doing some research on the engine assembly (on temporary hold), i need to keep moving. I decided to prep my 65 AC condenser - well 2 of them and use the best of the 2 in the car - to straighten and comb the fins using a readily available radiator comb. It has 6 different size combs for most any application. The smallest comb worked the best on these condensers
Here’s a sampling of bent and mashed in fins on both condensers on both sides.
After working a couple of hours a day for 2 days, both were about as good as I could get them.
After a thirough internal cleaning with this stuff:
I taped up the intake/exit tubes and with the help my trusty assistant (the wife), took them to the car wash and thoroughly cleaned the exterior with the wand on low pressure
After painting them both with satin black paint, i picked the better of the two as seen from the grille area and fitted it the car
Now I can permanently install the transmission and power steering coolers
