Guess it didn't post the first time. Radiator was replaced with new. Damn those quick connect oil and trans lines. Had the bottom trans line leak after getting everything back together. Within the week, new tires and five spoke wheels, repair of the front ground effects and added a dark gray outline bow tie to the doors.
Same gray color candy strips will go on soon with some shop time. The pitted rear side window trim has gotten filled and will be painted body color. Also new shocks, ABS sensors and o2 sensor when time permits. The work is never done.

Those tranny lines will come off the old fashioned way. No need to pick that clip out ... unless it leaks. But you can always do that after you remove it from the radiator too. I left mine all together when I did the engine swap here: https://blazerforum.com/forum/genera...-begins-63094/

made the needed notches in my receiver hitch for it to clear the bumper brackets (from a 96, just enough to make me actually have to work) and got that mounted on. It ain't flush against the bottom of the bumper, but it honestly don't bother me and I kinda prefer it that way

My hitch is hugging the frame. By that I mean the hitch is on the frame then the bumper brackets are on the outside of the hitch. Hopefully this way will hold up lol.

No biggie. I was a Pontiac guy long before I was a Blazer guy.

On topic, I got a new battery, painted some trim that was exposed galvanized metal and the door handles today. Drove it around a little.

Kind of contemplating selling it and putting the money towards the Indy.
