You did a beautiful job, CT.
I'm sure you got a lot of personal satisfaction giving the little car a new life. |

that would be sweet
If you successfully do this, I think you could start a profitable business. Good job man. What happened to those odd chrome things on the bumpers (sorry if you already explained)?

They were just stick ons, so I pulled the rears off and the fronts are gone since I replaced the front bumper. The hubcaps followed them into the trash can.

So, the used radiator actually self-healed. I believe that the gasket between the top plastic tank and the aluminum fin section had shrunk a bit from being used, then drying out and sitting on a shelf for a year or so. I think that re-wetting and heating it swelled it back to shape. For now I am going to run with it as is.
