WOOHOO!! New radiator is in!!
Took long enough, but got the thicker core radiator, some 12" fans, and rigged it all to work. a little sheet metal, a dremel, and a bunch of cutting wheels did the trick. and the space in between the sheet metal and radiator has been closed off by the most expensive tape in the world. found it at home depot; it is 'extreme weather' tape. its the same finish as the aluminum, super sticky, and very tough, and cost me $20 for a roll. word of advise for someone with little experience like myself....if one hose goes, replace all hoses!! this whole process started with one busted radiator hose, so i decided to swap out my radiator while i'm at it. got the new radiator in, then my water pumped started to leak. got that replaced then my heater hose busted the next day. all in all, i'm 100% sorta kinda confident i fixed all the leaks.

its a godspeed radiator, $160 from the group buy. fans were from ebay for about $60 shipped. far warning on the radiator, when people say its not a direct mount, they mean it. there is some custom rigging to keep that in place too. i'll take some pics later today and post em.
