The exhaust before it left.


The old wiring harness.






The first "new" part of the restoration!! A fairly monumental radiator then. It is of the dimpled type to enhance cooling. The dimples serve to reduce water velocity to enhance heat transfer.




I took this picture by holding the camera above my head, if you couldn't tell.
