Ok back to the build! I got alot done today but it was very windy and that made things a pain in the a$$.

I started by pulling out the radiator and fixing the leak. I went to home Depot and come to find out here in California they do not sell Solder with Lead any more at you local places. So I just bought a kit for about $8.00 and used my MAP gass tortch that I have for doing plumbing and it worked great no leaks so thanks for the help. All in all once it was out I think I spent about 5 min cleaning, moving fins out of the way, soldering and moving fins back! Total about 1 hour to remove, fix and replace.
