I did it
sammons, I think it looks much better now, thank you for the suggestion!
I tig welded it, and get this: I only dipper the tungsten once! Lots of hammering, so it was
a good thing I used tig instead of mig.
Radiator hoses done now too. I was given access to the local speedshop's radiator hose
collection, and found one with potential. I cut it in half and used it for both the upper and
lower hose. The upper one is 1-1/2" at the radiator and 1-3/4" at the thermostat housing.
The smaller size 90 degree bend one fit right inside the bigger size hose. I found a piece
of copper tubing that fits inside the smaller hose, a hose clamp keeps things together. I have
the upper hose made like this on my Pontiac and it has worked for 13 years by now.
The lower hose is done with help of a 90 degree bend too, same size both ends, the halves
joined together with hose clamps over a copper tube.
