Biohazard
Began putting the heater side of the box together. Like the A/C evaporator, I sprayed the heater core with POR-15's Metal Prep which really cleaned off the fins. Took a little steel wool to the copper tubes and the mounting flange around the core. Below, you can see the rope caulk in place prior to fitting the core into the box as well as a few places where i brushed some black paint over rivet heads to keep them from rusting out.
Below is the core installed in the box half. Very clean - it will yield gobs of soothing warmth!
I have a few flap doors needing either cleaned or painted and then to have the grey foam panels glued to them. Otherwise, just a few hinges and rods needing steel-wooled and oiled before the boxes can be closed up.
