Bubba was here
How to install radiator by Bubba:
1. Get wrong year radiator core.
2. Cut as needed.
3. Weld in random piece of metal to hold it together.
4. While you're at in, add extra washers to the swap bar mounts.

Re: Bubba was here (Swamp Thang)
did bubba widen the support?? I like the stack of washers, at least they're all the same diameter and thickness ;) :D
It would be true bubba-ism if there was a large nut there instead of the washers
Looks like the bolt is too long :)
He even put holes in the weld-in piece for weight saving, if he had flared them it would be stiffer too ;)

Re: Bubba was here (Swamp Thang)
Bubba doesn't know about drilling holes for weight savings. That's only plumbers tape. Bubba also used it on the top of my radiator shroud to stiffen it up. Great stuff wouldn't leave town with out it.

Ahhh, a man from the shallow end of the gene pool..
:conehead:
In fact, are we sure Bubba was a man.:blueangel:
Could it be a "BUBBARESS", the consistency of washers and the colour coordination is a clue here ..
