More tinkering and wrapping up tasks on the business end:

I have a nasty water pump inlet, so I'm going to do right thing and use this sanding belt to take off as much rust as possible, then run it. Sanding belts work quite well for cleaning up these necks without uninstalling them! You just turn the belt different angles and saw back and forth.

Guess how old the top radiator hose is?? Look at that clamp


I also popped off both cages holding the radiator nuts when removing the clip, so I cleaned up the nuts, tapped the holes, and welded the cages back on. A fresh Grade 8 for each side will replace the snapped/tired bolts there before.
