entsminger Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 12/31/01 Posts: 51 Loc: virginia	I'm new to this chat so bear with me. I just bought a 28 chevy coupe in pretty good condition,meaning it might be drivable with some work. It's missing a radiator cap. Being new to this I have no idea what I should pay for the winged wheel radiator cap that I'd like and should go on it? I've only seen one for sale for $400 but maybe that's too high?Any suggestions? sdakssaol

I have not purchased one of those, but based on the quality of Gary's other items I would think you would be satisfied. $\:\)$ Welcome to the 28 Chevrolet owner's club. $\:D$ _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

Look on Ebay in Ebaymotors the have appeared now and then. Again welcome and happy restoration. Kirk _________________________ See the USA in a Vintage Chevrolet

You can always drill it for a motometer which I find more useful anyway. You can find Gary Wallace, Charles Mooney, Dick Moffitt, Wally Deck and others that carry these on my Sources page.
