Rick,
You probably already know it but make sure there is no eng paint and only bare metal where the lower radiator hose attaches. I didn't do that on one car, drove it to the pavillions, after five mins of sitting the lower hose blew off because of the slick paint. Made a big mess, burned my girlfriend, the only person out of the crowd standing around to get splashed. Very embarrasing with all the people standing around and I couldn't decide who to attend to the girlfriend or the car. Fortunately a bunch of car guys pitched in cleaning up the car and I attended the girl. Withing 2 secs a lawyer approached her to offer her his services in sueing me. Anyway I have a normal hose clamp on the bottom and a tower clamp on the topside now.

Just a little Update......I'm having Seat Covers made locally ....we sent out for Samples to match what we had and when the Samples came in they were Exactly what we were looking for.....So, the material was ordered (All Vinyl) and I was feeling prety Good.........Some little loose ends to tie up but nothing major.......Sent the wrong color Seat Covers along with a picture of the Mis-Matched colors back to the supplier and was given an Immediate Credit

.......That was pretty Cool as I thought I was going to have to eat the cost of those covers.

.......
Anyhow, I get a call from the vendor saying that there wasn't enough of one of the Colored Vinyl Samples to finish the job and they were sending out some other samples and to choose from one of them....well another week go's by before they show up........Close but "NO Cigar"......so I having Vinyl Dye mixed so I can end up with what I want...the dye and material should be in the End of this week so the covers can be made next week and I can hopefully be in front of Cumby's house in two weeks....

This is comming along great!!!

Can't wait for the video.

Yes, most repro parts suck and I too get the "you're the first" on a complaint.

sure I am...

One question on the radiator.. Nobody makes a repro "Big Tank" 4-core?

Well..... They make them, but the real question is do they fit... And do they look original?
It is still pretty easy to find an old radiator and just have them re-cored.
