Nice work! It's like no one has ever been into those rads before, lol.

Wasn't bad at all, pretty quick. Especially without painting the inserts. I felt it would be a good thing to do before heading into the hot Deep South summer. I did have a casualty though, i busted the front right side marker bulb.. knew one on order already, which i have a restricted and cant drive at night anyways .

It is amazing the amount of junk that comes out of there... I haven't done any "scientific" testing, but anecdotally sometimes the temp would creep up to the 0 instead of staying on the 8, and it hasn't done it since I cleaned between my rads and condensers. I also gave the bumper cover a good cleaning.
