Haven’t followed my build threads I see! My cars are spotless show cars. Bugs are not allowed to remain after each drive. No expense spared restorations with as much OEM stuff I can find. The radiator hose thing I’m my opinion is a bit of a myth. They did that back in the day because they pulled a vacuum on the system in the factory to get air out. Hoses today are much stiffer as well (again I’m fussy and only use the best I can find in todays world. Dayco and Delco are the best most stiff hose I can find)
