Okay, so I got paid on Friday and......... radiator really starts to take a crap on me. Been getting to 235 after about 20-30 minutes of driving so this needs to be fixed. Oh and thats without running the AC when its been 90+ here in Fl. So Z28 rims have to wait until a week from this Friday to go on. Bought a new radiator and upper and lower hoses tonight. Current hoses checked out fine, but I figure while I'm already there I might as well replace these, and since the thermostat is new and the water pump looks new still, this will give me an almost new cooling system. So I'll get all of this installed tomorrow.

Short term to do list:
Radiator
Upper Hose
Lower Hose
Tires on Z28 Rims

Those rims look awesome. Yeah I need to replace my radiator, too. I can't run aroud with the A/C on for too long or it starts pouring fluid. But I've flushed the system already, and just running water at the moment. That's getting replaced soon, though.

Thanks! And FYI- I ordered my radiator online from Advance, where there was an online 10 or 15% off, and you could pick up in the store. Ended up getting my radiator for like $115.

Glad to hear positive things! I was so nervous when it was time to put the wheels on because of the whole spacer thing, but it all worked out.

Next up is install the LEDs, idk when thats going to happen but it'll be by the end of this month.

Finally bought mine. Got it from Advance for $106.70 through work.
I also got a hub assembly. It was growling really loud, so it was almost done. That was $162 from Autozone, but they price-matched Bennet's price of $140 I was going to get through the school.
