Salvador got the radiator out
Best replace all the hoses while they are accessible. And that old water pump looks like it may be original and not surprisingly starting to weep. Best replace that too. And the thermostat. And the belts. And that old belt tensioner is starting to look a little weak. Best replace that too.

Fit In Better
We Americans hail from families of immigrants newly arrived, seeking approval from better-established immigrants deposited by the previous boat. Even the best adjusted of us have inherited a message of social inferiority from generations of moms telling generations of kids to fit in better, speak English better, display better manners, etc. I suggest that this heritage weighs on us more than we want to acknowledge at levels we don't want to address.
