1970 Duster, Trans-Am-inspired "Pro Touring" build

Here's my build thread for the engine: Junkyard 5.9L Magnum + Edelbrock LA heads build

After looking at some other threads I think the radiator should be fine especially after I bash the dents out of the lower core support, should lower it 1/4-1/2". Then I just need to drill a hole in each side radiator bracket to mount up to the top 2 original mounting holes, hang the radiator on those, then drill the other 2 mounting holes in the car for the bottom "hook" sections of the radiator brackets to bolt to.

One thing I did before hooking up the new heater hoses was to flush the heater core, I used some of the fluid you get at the parts stores mixed in a big measuring glass with water I near-boiled in the microwave. A bit of brown gunk came out but not as much as I had hoped, the heater has always just been "adequate" I want it to work better, still chilly around here esp. at night for the next few months.

I also went with Gabriel shocks in the rear, curious to see how they hold up compared to POS Monroes. Later on I'll get some for the front as well but at least there are some in there (I took the old rears out to put in a 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue I had a few years ago), I'm just tight on funds right now and the cooling system is a higher priority.
