Hahahah! I love fire. I beat Elon to the flame thrower Idea.

I died laughing when I heard about the Boring Company and it's flame throwers.
For the radiator hose, I'm gonna cobble something together. Saw a good video from NAPA actually on restomodding coolant hoses. They had a novel plan. Get the bends you need in rubber (preferably gates and not silicone) and join them together using straight pipe and clamps. I'll go this route. And yes that top hose is the most oddly shaped radiator hose I have ever seen.
Got a call from the radiator shop today......Bad news not only is my oil cooler cracked and damaged from what appears to be water in the hydraulic system that worked its way into the oil cooler then froze, (ballooned end on the cooler was the warning sign as well as the oil "wet spot" on the fins) my damn radiator has multiple leaking points. Gonna re-core the old radiator (275$) and buy a new oil cooler. They wanted 300 to repair the cooler. I'll just buy a new one.
Haven't done a compression test yet Bob

....I should have already done that buuuuuuuut. And I haven't looked at the clutch yet either, however it grabbed really well when it was running. I do a compression test but the way things have been going, I'm not sure I want to know, yet
