Sorry about that. I wanted to post on http://www.bringatrailer.com since that seems to get the biggest reach in regards to unique vehicles, and they required exclusivity. If it didn't sell there, I was going to post it here.

Before I sold the car, I had "Dsalni" do up my car. He did a excellent job. He can do yours too.

I get all the measurements, the radiator arrives the day before I leave for LA:

The problem is, they didn't weld the mounting tabs on for me.... :doh:
So I made a quick and desparate run to Jerry Woods Enterprises who builds racing Porsches, and got the tabs welded. Phew!!!

Sorry to hear about your job loss, the whole world is going through that now. Ain't much better here in Canada, and I hope I don't need to consider the same alternative as you did. Good to know the car went to someone who will care for it properly. I it an amazing work of art, IMO! I have the magazine article and my hats off to you and all the work you did on it.

Just one question. How much was that radiator?? It sure looks nice.

Thanks all.

Pete, the radiator was roughly $400. Completely custom. Then again, it might of been a special price since I was introduced to Ron Davis via a friend of mine at Mazda R&D.
