Default Finished !!

I finally finished replacing my broken radiator!!!!!
What a pain in the @#! it was taking the old one out. I replaced it with an aluminum one and since I had the hood and front of the engine off I painted and detailed the engine compartment. Hopefully tomorrow mife or brother can help me replaced so I can take it out for a spin. I'll post some pics tomorrow...

THANKS to all those who helped me out!
This is a great forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again got me out of a jam!!!!

Thanks DinoX

Congratz! Now tell me: are all radiators a pita to get out? I need to solder the upper hose connection within a few weeks.

I think the way the hood is hinged and the fact that the radiator core is layed back some, makes all Corvette radiators a bit of trouble to work on.
