"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to install the radiator. Everything got mocked up pretty carefully before we started the work, so we're pretty sure everything is going to clear okay. We're using a modified version of the original Ford radiator. The original radiator fits in the hole nice, but we want to get the intake and outlet holes exactly right. So we have had the radiator modified. They burn the tanks off and put new tanks on it. It has the original location. This motor won't make a whole lot more heat than the original big old Ford. We have grab bag of these things, we have boxes and drawers that are all organized of these captive nuts, so they always have the right one for each application. You can usually get these things at your parts store too. That will allow him to fasten it pretty easily."
