Here's a couple of mine, just used dryer hose, electrical tape and a disk cutter to make the hole under the overflow resivior. The opening comes out of the "grill."

I cut out a square under the overflow reservior for the radiator. You can see where the tube goes through the body in my second picture. I called it a disk cutter, but I believe its also called a cut-off wheel or disk grinder. It's hooked up to an air compressor and spins really fast allowing it to cut most things.
