Radiator paint

This evening I painted the radiator and heater core using paint specially formulated to transfer heat.




Here are the two pieces with their shiny new coats of paint.



I also removed the stainless steel trim and emblems from the fenders so that I can begin cleaning the grit and grim off the inside surfaces of the fenders. The strips of stainless steel are attached with nuts on the inside that attach to studs on the trim pieces. I used a 3/8" socket.




With the bolts removed (one on each side was rusted and just broke off), I popped the trim off.



Next I took off the Datsun 2000 emblems. They have pins on the back that are held in place on the inside of the fender with these square clips.
