A nice profile shot of the driver's side.  It really is my rig's best looking side due to the fender damage on the right side.

The formerly attached trim pieces.  They really needed no extra help to come off except for the long one from the passenger side front door.  The rest were beginning to peel off anyway.

Trying to get at the bent up stuff below, mounting the radiator was a bitch due to my left side being tagged and yanked back out by the original owner

Because everything sits slightly off-center and is slightly bent underneath, the plate that goes on top of the radiator didn't go back on once we unscrewed it and took it off.  New holes needed to be drilled to get it back on right.  Washers were used with the bolts to get it back on.

The serpentine belt after re-install.  This was very tricky and ck1's ingenuity saved the day here.

The engine after the old water pump was removed.  Lots of buildup left!  My girly scraping gave way to ck1's dremel smoothing.  At the end it looked new.

The tank was corroded pretty bad on the old radiator and was about to split OUTWARDS soon enough.  See the seams buckling OUTWARD there?  Check the greenish area right in the middle.

The old radiator, perspective shot.  This was the original radiator too, it even had the AMC sticker on the top.

Here's all the stuff I got.  You can see there the fan shroud was too damn big, as was the fan blade.  I learned to check inside boxes before I take a part home.  Never trust a parts monkey, I guess.
