[V8] Antifreeze Sauna

[NIck Miller]

That would be my vote.  Bypass the heater core and not worry about it.
ALthough, in ND, that would pretty much shut that car down for the winter.


Hey, while you are in  there taking out the dash, you might as well swap in
White S6 gauge faces anyway.  And you could also recover the dash in
something like suede!   Ok, maybe not that far, but the S6 gauge face mod is
awesome, and only would add 2 hours to the time, since you already need to
remove the dash.   You probably never want to do that again.  Shit, I've
done it like 3 times now.
