[Roadsters] Heater core replacement question

[Fred Katz]

I have done this a long time ago on my 66. Replacing the core is relatively
easy. Getting the heater box out of the roadster is a pain. Once you
disconnect all the stuff in the way (under the dash and at the engine
compartment firewall), the rest is easy. While I was at it, I cleaned up the
box and parts and repainted them, and replaced the valve at the engine
compartment.
