That looks like a lot of fun. FWIW, the square body heater cores are a LOT easier. I think I did mine in about 2 hours. That included the time I spent blowing and scrubbing out all the dust in the vents.

I say if nothing rattles, then the screws were not needed.

That is completely retarded to build something like that. Engineers will NEVER have to work on anything they design. Making an engineer work on something he designed would be the ultimate revenge!
