Oh and I forgot to mention the hood was all stained with greasy hand prints from me. The only thing I had at home for grease was Orange Clean. I sat outside for 15 minutes scrubbing my hood with a sponge and orange clean (in the dark) to get the hand prints off. FAIL.

Yep. I haven't gotten around to making a custom radiator stay for the top. It's sturdy with just the way I have the bottom but I want that added security.

I have an OEM one from a 92-95 but it doesn't reach the core support. I need to tap it and just put a long bolt through it or put the bolt up through the support and make like a stud then thread a bolt and washer over it.

It's just not that high up on the to-do list.

Alright, will do.

I though Zipties and duct tape were just "oem replacements" for stock parts on Hondas? lol
