    What did you have to do to get the radiator to fit?

    I just moved a little to the passenger side .. now I will remove the side plate with the holes and put a flat plate.
    I'll just make the necessary holes for fixing it (y)

    hard to see what the car looks like with that mirror finish on the paint you should scuff the paint up a bit so we can see how nice it really is :p

    HARD to get a mirror finish like that in black unless everything and I mean everything has been done PERFECT if theres one little thing you did wrong that mirror black finish will show it OUTSTANDING JOB AS USUAL :bowdown:

    I may have to go with that gloss black instead of the old hotrod semi flat black sure looks nice :thumbs2:

    thank you man! I am very glad :thumbs2:

    Best of all is that the car will still be polished and varnished! this will be done at the very end before putting the door handles,gas cap and glasses.
    ie, it will get mirrored even more! :dance:

    I have not yet applied varnish, because, in the assembly, for sure there will be some risks.
    then, when the car is 95% assembled, I'll repaint where was scratched and then, I will paint and varnish the whole car and do the polishing.
    By while the car has only ink! :thumbs2:
