Can you post a written how-to? this would be great for alot of people...especially now that the summer is coming in some parts of the world.
Yes, I was thinking about that since I started building it. Here are the parts.
The pump you can see in the video was my first guess.

The second pump was almost enough. I combined the two and flow looked good.

I also bought a cheap bilge pump from china for testing.

I bought the tubing to fit the second pump.

I never knew you could find radiators for this cheap. until now.

Bought two fans that should have fit on the same side. They didn't fit well enough. I switched the polarity on one of the motores to run in reverse. I'm sure it's not very efficient. The solution works for now though.

Ordered 5 gal of mineral oil. I would love to use the 3m fluid, but it's out of the budget. This cheap stuff has worked fine so far. Makes a good laxative too.

This oil is a better solution.

Amazon Prime did this to me.
I already had a few parts lying around. I'm not sure the cost of theses parts or the availability.
I used shark bite tubing and fittings to plum the radiator. They fit snug in the main radiator inlet and outlet.
I used some 2 part marine epoxy to hold them in.
