[DeTomaso] Radiator Update

[doug351c]

Depending on your climate, you might consider a 1/3 Prestone, 2/3 water mix
which will cool better, cost you less and still give you freeze protection
to 0 deg F.

I'm going to go ahead and mix up my coolant in advance, Prestone with 50%
distilled water and a bottle of water wetter, install new clamps and double
them up.

I have several nights to prepare, remove the hood, stainless shield and take
out the old radiator, guess I'll evaluate hoses, then and decide If I need
new ones.
and inspect the fans.
