Thanks to all!

Well, I got done what I needed to after pulling that ?/*#@54%#@@~ radiator out. All who helped me with knowledge and suggestions won't believe what I discovered. This 75 appears to have been undercoated when purchased new and they applied so much of this crap on the chassis that it sealed the radiator to the radiator mounting frame. I had to pull the radiator out, mounting bracket and all!

Thanks again, Oz

But I bet you don't have to replace it like many of us have had to!

any one have advise on removing hood other than mark the brackets. am headed for a new radiator among other things and does make sense to remove hood but tey paint is the most expensive thing in my vette thus far.
i could surely see the hood getting out of control upon release.
any advise would be much apreciated. should have 3 spotters on hand during removal but they are ladies and do not want to twist them up on this job.
