A nice bright one will look great with everything else you've done. I've cleaned mine out before, but they don't clean up very well once they get really dirty.
It's looking fantastic!

Slow day. Took the remaining bits of the paramedic stickers off with the eraser wheel and gave her a wash.
Got the w/t grille cleaned up and test fitted. Loomed up a little more of the wiring

The burb now moves entirely using its own power. Tis a great day... finished flushing the radiator. Used a chelating agent to pull all that rust out of the block.20ish gallons of ro water and deruster pushed through.ran er for awhile let it sit overnight and then flushed with distilled till it ran clear(18 gal)
Installed a brass 3/4 tee where the old dodge coolant temp sensor was. Top goes to heater core bottom is a 1/4 turn boiler drain to aid in backflushing the motor.worked well.
Derustification gradiant
As she sat pre test drive. the mrs is riding shotgun
After a couple victory laps around the yard
Still lots of bugs to work out, but she's moving.

So one gallon for the whole system? Maybe I'll do that.

I used 1 bottle for the block. There was a good amount of visible rust in the thermostat housing pre flush and now it looks like new cast iron. I'd say it worked rather well...I left an old unused oil pan gasket in the solution overnight to make sure it's claims to not damage rubber were legit, which they were.

She's officially a road worthy vehicle.
Finally got the new front bumper from lmc. Headlight buckets from eBay arrived ahead of schedule.
Got em both, along with the grill and freshly painted filler piece installed post haste.(filler was still a little wet when i installed it and the bumper isn't centered)
Can't decide if I'm going to paint the bumpers white, I'm kinda digging them black
Pre test drive
