Thanks so much Able.  Now all I have to do is remember my password.  I had forgotten I had it on my phone.

HI All;
They were right, the traffic to see the eclipse is terrible!  On the way to Myrtle Beach SC on the infamous I 95, I was involved in a pileup.  Had a Tahoe bumper ride over mine (his back raised up from hitting vehicle in front of him, I braked hard and dipped down) hard enough to push through to the radiator.  Thank God no one hurt.  I made it to a truck stop while the lifeblood of my engine slowly peed out.  Watched temp gage like a hawk and pretty sure I made it OK.   AAA and $160 later the bus in my sister's driveway in Myrtle Beach.
Here's the question.  Anyone know of a shop around Myrtle Beach that can replace the radiator?  The body work can wait until I get home.  Still going to see the eclipse darn it. I got all the gear, and I'm going to use it!  Everyone out there be careful.
