The hood latch spring has snapped now lol. Its the smaller one that looks like it helps return the hook to its position. Is there a place I can acquire a new spring?

Anyone know a radiator repair shop near Cleveland Ohio? I bought solder and fixed one of the holes but I can't locate where the rest are. I'll keep looking but I probably should find a shop to do it. I called around and everyone acts like repairing a radiator is such an odd question, its not some sh*tbox econo-car where you replace the radiator.

I did not call and check any, you can do that, but I did a search on google, "Radiator Repair Shops Cleveland Ohio" and got a lot of results for places that repair them.

Yes I tried just the local places around me and some were closed because of the virus, I will try calling the places on google.

Just as a suggestion, if you can find a good shop to repair it, it will pay you in the long run to have it completely re-cored. On a stock radiator, I know for a fact you can at least go to a triple core and get way better cooling. Think of all the summer heat we may get to enjoy!

Well now it's at a radiator shop and the guy claims its not the original radiator. Can anyone verify the part stamp is D1AE AE with the FOMOCO.

My engine bay is all done with Eastwood 2K ceramic semi-gloss black. It has some texture for sure, but is proving to be very durable. A good semi-gloss or low gloss black would be fine I think.

Thanks I was about to ask what paint was used for the engine bay.
