So I may possibly try to talk to an acquaintance of mine and see how much he would charge to make a custom radiator... I am not sure I want to shell out for that though haha. We shall see!

Still trying to find that plug for the front, just above the balance shaft. I ordered an M18 plug when 16 was too small. It was still too small, and my tiny town doesn't have anything larger than 14mm in stock anywhere.. pretty lame. So I have a 19 and 20 on the way. I will probably have to shave it down to get on there around that belt. As you can see from the first post on this thread, it is pretty tight.

If anyone has some pictures of the water pump and specifically the inlet and outlet to the radiator, I would be very appreciative! Still yet to find someone in town with one that I can stare at at length for inspiration haha. I got the starter and alternator finally and have them on there. Took me a stupidly long time to realize the alternator went on the passenger side not the drivers side xD

Interestingly enough, that 90 degree bent tube I posted wondering where it went earlier in this thread lines up EXACTLY under the heater core line in the colt! Pretty awesome. Small victories.
