thats funny, DT is no Dk tho lol. how's the radiator coming along?

lol, lets not make fun of DT, he is a cool dude, so settle down JBI. lolĀ  but really, he is a cool guy. Thanks for the 420a swap write up DT : )
but im surprised that you asked about the radiator and see that any one is interested.
Well, What i did was i made my own costum radiator legs{the 2 that sit in the bottom of the radiator}.
what i did was i bought quickplastic from homedepot, its like a plasteline kind of a thing. you cut the amount that you need, and you start mixing it with fingers. it is not dangerous when using it with bare skin, so you can play with and do all kinds of shapes. and the nice part is that once you done giving it your own shape, it dries down 5 hours to a hard piece of plastic, let it dry for a day, even better.
so thats what i did, i shaped my own lil radiator legs. Let it dry for 12 hours, then i shaved it with my rotary tool to give it a nice even size just like the actual radiator leg. then i sanded it down with sandpaper to have it smoothed out.
the next thing that I did was buy an epoxy from homedepot as well. I used this epoxy to fill out the holes in my trunk that been left from the wing that I had before. and belive it or not, its been 4 months since i filled those holes in the trunk, and during these 4 months, its been hot, dry, rainy, snowing, and that hole looks good as the day that i made it.
so I did the same thing with this epoxy. I filled those holes that i made in the radiator, but these holes were much smaller in size than the holes that I had in my trunk, so this was easier to fill. then once i filled these radiator holes, I simply took those radiator legs that I made earlier, and basically pushed into the holes that I just covered with that epoxy in the radiator itself. I holded those legs for about 2 minutes, and then left it to dry.
I let it dry for 24 hours, and put it back into its place.
I've put the radiator back to its place a week ago, and everything is good now. : )
This epoxy is really some good stuff. I even fixed the crack that I had in the bottom of my bumper, stock bumper that is.
if any one wants the name if this epoxy, let me know.

sounds like you've mustered a decent fix, as long as your epoxy is protectant over 212 F, you will be ok.
