I could watch you work with sheet metal all day. My father was a welder and a whiz creating structure similar to this. As a kid I was his helper. Great job Kiwi. Thanks for the memories.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Great tutorial on installing this massive radiator. Interesting as well 👍

[@georgecooke9010]

I'M HOOKED LIKE CAPTAIN COOK! KIWI RULES!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

LOL, cheers mate😎😁👍

[@fishgeralding9224]

That weld through product must have a bit of phosoric acid to convert the rust (iron oxide) into iron phosphate. Great idea! Pee wee approved! 😂

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Yes it does Pee wee, cheers mate!

[@strokermaverick]

Nice job, Kiwi! Quality, job!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Cheers mate and thanks for watching!!

[@paintucation]

Great idea with the removable panel up top! I've boxed in the (weak) upper support on different cars, it helps, but this is a way better solution. Thanks for the great ideas!!

[@avatarbuddy6398]

Love and admire your kindness , patience , and wisdom .

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Wow, thanks man!! I'm just doing what I've always wanted to do.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I love watching the fun stuff before I go work on these new plastic vehicles at the body shop

[@AlanSchildroth]

I am looking jealous, as my health will not let me weld! You are making the car a shapely beauty!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Sorry to hear that bud, hopefully you can back to it. Thanks for watching!

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Thanks Kiwi! I’m definitely gonna reference this video when it’s time to put in my big aluminum radiator 🤙

[@MrMartinious]

Kiwi its just so good to watch as you go about your daily grind 💪 skilled men are becoming harder to find but its awesome to see there's still a few out there 😊

[@donaldhalls2189]

Doing a great job, should keep it cool,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@frednerk5959]

Oh crap, I forgot to send you that new radiator cap!😊

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Yeah ya did ! 😉😎😁👍

[@ChrisChandler-dj1wy]

You may need to add a little brake fluid to your punch/ flange tool. Over time, they lose a little "oompf". Great video as usual!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Brake fluid ?

[@Grandadsjunk]

Looking good brother you do excellent work a pleasure to watch are you and Tony going to sort things out friends should be able to work things out sorta miss you guys popping in for catch ups

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍🧊🧊

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Hey Hey Mr B

[@simcard027]

nice work kiwi i'll be copying this on my xr falcon 👍

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Awesome. Glad I could help!!

[@daviddial7010]

You could use j-clips or rivnuts for the radiator mounts. I really liked the Pro Spot welder.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Yup, both those would work. Just a personal preference thing 😎👍

[@forthwithtx5852]

Nice work, as always!

[@shotsrodder]

Nice work 👍

[@robertbeckler5058]

I replaced my radiator a couple of weeks ago with an aftermarket one, which was larger. It's pretty straightforward. Only thing is now the truck runs a lot cooler. Might become a problem when it's 40 below zero this winter.

[@gulfy09]

Kiwi making it look so much easier.. great job

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Thanks man and thanks for watching !!

[@robbieautrey3158]

Very nice install of that massive radiator Kiwi. I'm sure that will cool a Coyote quit nicely.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

It should be ample especially with a high cfm fan 😎👍

[@oldtimerf7602]

Superb, as always!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Cheers mate and thanks for watching!!

[@NathansMoparGarage]

It looks really good in there.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Thanks man and thanks for watching !!

[@morebassman5860]

your workmanship is great!!

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Thanks man!!

[@bigunone]

Back in the 80s I was living west TX I got tired of my 67 Mustang over heating so I found a radiator from a 70s LTD station wagon and made it fit. The bottom tank set on the frame at the bottom, I did have to have to flatten the top tank a little to get the cap clear of the hood, but it never over heated again

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

That's hot rodding 👍👍👍😎. I hate overheating cars !

[@glennnickerson8438]

It amazes me Kiwi that you don't waste a square inch of area when it comes to getting everything to fit! I have yet to see you use a shoehorn in any of your builds! 😆

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Ya should have seen me getting the 9 liter into my Mustang....😁

[@andrewstoffel1170]

👍👍👍

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Cheers mate!

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Now that holes just right for the flat screen Tv😳🤣🤣

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

😂🤣 😎👍

[@derekhobbs1102]

Who else engaged safety squints when the sparks were flying?

[@joeqgrant4561]

I always look away when he strikes an arc...force of habit 😂

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

LOL Good thing I'm not filming in 3D 😂🤣

[@TAVOAu]

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Hey buddy, hope ya doing well👍

[@chuckhoward3626]

Kiwi's Duck Works...

[@dwaynemedlin8683]

Is there a certain size hole that is best, when doing plug weld's?

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

5/16 -3/8" is good

[@kelvinrf]

Ya did well not to bang that drill into the radiator core.

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

That would be bad !! 😁😎👍

[@boilerroomed3682]

I'm mystified why all retro mods seem to go with these crazy 600 or more HP builds! Are they going to the drag strip trying to run under 10's? I'd love a retro mod with a 300 or so HP short block as a nice cruiser. Add in vintage A/C for me down here in FL....

[@leonardhirtle3645]

Measure once,cut twice.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeffgroves6280]

Good job pee wee! 😂😂😂

[@jayweiss4378]

Still a lot of hours of work on that car to come.... but from what I can see Kiwi does good metal work

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

I feel like I can hold my own bud! Cheers mate!

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

What's your thought on spot? Welders I know you like doing them all with drilling and doing it that way. But have you thought about a spot welder and some applications? It would work easier than others. What do you think on that? By the way, that was a good job. I really like that. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@cpzmelbs]

I’ll take this question, cheers. If you want to spot weld go ahead, it will work well. I don’t have a spot welder but I’ll jump in the garage right now and find plenty of uses for one if it’s your shout. Heck I’ll let you borrow it whenever you’d like too! 👍 thanks mate 🇦🇺🍻

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

I'd love a spot welder but a good quality one with the necessary arms and accessories is very expensive!!!

[@timmiller260]

Nice to see used snippets to cut that other shows use cutter wheele what waste of time blades buy way I was heat air guy.dad had sheet metal shop.😊

[@michaelstrafello7346]

Is that rust killer also known as metal etch

[@josephszot5545]

You putting oil cooler in too or transmission cooler?

[@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160]

Both!
