Default Re: Biscayne Resto Project

Finally.........The Radiator showed up today....Great.....Install it, add coolant, and fire it up.........Right..................."Not".......... ..I'm glad this is almost over because I can't take much more of this Non-Sense..........O.K.......I install the Radiator......smooth.......installed in 10 minutes.....Go into the Basement to get the Hoses and clamps.......I found out that I had double ordered the hoses......(If I ever do another car, "EVERYTHING" will get checked Immediately)....Here is a picture of the hoses that were ordered for the same application.....





The shortest upper hose is about 4" too long and has to be cut on only one end, the other would need to be cut on both ends.......I'll cut to suit, But.....I ordered hoses to fit now after cutting the hose with a "Steak" knife, it's my problem if I screw it up.......Never looks as good as properly made hose.......Small thing....but....Also the lower hose has "No" spring in it to keep it from colapsing........Sheesh.....
Now , I open the Package with the Tower Clamps that was ordered as a "Radiator" set......Here's what was in the Pkg



2pcs 2 1/16" and 1pc 2 1/2".......Now the plans to start it will have to wait until "Hopefully" Friday.......If the Clamps show up........

Heres a pic of the Radiator installed......so close...



Look.........I can't be the only person in the world that is having these "Stupid" issues with aftermarket suppliers.........
