Stop in for a cup of coffee

Question: what is so taboo about using those universal, ribbed radiator hoses? I've never used them before, always gone for the pre molded but the polara had one before I removed everything to yank the engine. Everyone seems to hate them
Cheap looking on a car close to be restored. If you don't care no-one else should either. If I had universal hoses, I wouldn't be proud enough to open the hood. I need Corbin clamps on the Swinger hoses. I will buy new hoses though. 2016-05-22 001 001.jpg engine 286.jpg
