I replaced the leaking header gasket in the Willys yesterday, Fel Pro, 
piece of cake.
 
After replacing the water pump I discovered my old lower hose had
a small leak, hate it.
Was leery of replacing the hose initially because Gates products are now made in China and Mexico [like everything else].
So, went out and bought the new Gates hose, rrrggg.
Drained the new coolant and distilled water from the radiator [carpeted garage floor] without making a mess.
Shortened and replaced the lower hose.
Refilled at the tank mounted on the firewall without spillage,
slow process.
Cleaned the chromed front suspension which REALLY makes the car
go a lot faster, the air just floats over that shinny stuff, cutting the et by 
at least 3 seconds in the quarter mile.
 
Tomorrow I'll park on the hill facing upwards around the corner to
bleed it/purge it.
 
Attached,
Mick
