The radiator was a breeze to reinstall, since I forgot to install the cooling fan on the front side of it.  Rex Radiator had painted the whole thing after installing the new core, so I used acetone to remove paint from the hose nipples.  I had ordered the lower hose from Don Thibault at p1800.com because the only replacement they have at the parts stores is a flex hose.  The upper hose was easy to get, but had to be trimmed on both ends.

| I changed the routing of the overflow hose, adding a foot but reducing the bends. |

| The formed lower hose is a huge improvement over the universal one that it replaced. |
