I'm in the process of overhauling the cooling system on my DeLuxe (the first
step in trying to get the engine running again) and I was hoping for some
advice.

The radiator is off the car and after inspecting it I discovered that there
is a great deal of a soapy film collected throughout the radiator.  It
appears to be the residue from the old coolant.  What's the best way to
clean it?  Should I simply bring it down to the local radiator shop and have
them take car eof it?

The thermostat housing will not come off.  I've removed the nuts holding it
in place, tried gently prying it up from the edges, but it won't budge.  Any
tips for removal?

Thanks,
