Here in MN we cardboard the radiator on bigger vehicles. Take a pice of card board the size of the radiator, and cut a hole about 6 in x 6in in it for flow. Keeps the subzero temps from cooling the engine too much

well, there is a fair sized peice in there right now, and tucked behind my foggers..worked on the Bonneville last year...but not on this.
But I'll try a bigger peice..its almost impossible to reach the rad without getting under neath the Alero

WOW!!, how far up in Alberta are you? Here in Minnesota its 40* fairenheit ABOVE zero. To think we get sh*t for being cold. However, it probably is much colder in northern Minnesota. I know northern MN has a totally different climate than southern MN. It can be totally green here in late April but travel a few hours up north and its still brown.
