The clips came from Harbor freight. $5.99 for 8 I think. They are a huge help, only wish they had a few more threads to help while trying to line everything up.

Welded a little more on the roof, still not done. Not sure how its going to turn out yet. I've already had some major "oil canning" which I cured with some pie cuts, but I really don't think its possible to get it perfect. I'll worry about re-skining the roof when it comes time for a good paint job....years.



I did get my new radiator in, after the "good" one I bought turned out bad. I bought it off of ebay, $165 to my door. Its a 2 core radiator and when I emailed they said it had one 1" core and one 1/2" core. I think they are wrong, looks like two 1" cores to me I can only hope to test the abilities of this radiator! Only complaint is the rad cap comes very close to the hold down, clears though.
