The old radiator was leaky so I got a new (cheap) radiator off ebay.
I went cheap since I seem to have a bad habit of ruining radiators one way or another.

I polished it out and made the brackets to mount the radiator since it is wider than the original.

Drove it around for a while, no leaks or heating issues!

The whole install was documented at http://www.stangfix.com/testforum2/index.php/topic,10367.0.html

On to my next project, Install an 'R' code valance.

Jerry Coleman gave me a fiberglass front valance. I test fitted it yesterday. I think I like the look. I just need to get it painted now.

Yes it is fiberglass. The only thing I had to do to make it fit good was notch the area where the hood latch support was.

Valance painted and installed. Eazy Project, now onto the the next thing. I just got to figure out which thing on my list to do next. :shrug

That thing needs a headliner....

I know, but there is some rust issues in the back window channel that need to be fixed when I pull out the rear window to install a headliner. I am not ready to tackle that yet.

Oh!
that's a BIG list!
I like your approach however, tackle a little at a time and still enjoy driving it.
Bring it on the Hot Rod Power Tour, Pioneer might take care of the sound system!
