This Mclaren has cost me quite a few grand. I put over $1,100 into
it a few weeks ago now I'll look at another couple of grand on body
work and paint. The other day I brought it in for an inspection. It
took 2 times to run the test because the rod fell out. Next it
starts leaking anti freeze. Keep in mind it has a new crate motor,
thermostat, and radiator. I was fuming. It turns out the plastic
overflow was cracked. Thank God it was an easy fix. The Garage told
me that these new inspections make cars overheat all the time
because there is no air going into the radiator to cool it off.
Vettes are a prime victim.

Well anyway thanks for the advice I will have the autobody shop look
into each area mentioned.
