Phil......I can't stop looking at this car, I'll bet I have come back to this thread 6 times in the last several days.

The owner is local right??? I would love to get pics of this and see it close up, since I missed Columbus

Thanks man. The car is local. The owner actually lives less than a few miles from the shop. We are bringing it up to Car Craft Nationals this weekend and then plan on delivering it back to the owner sometime next week.

Thanks. We wanted to give the car a race inspired interior with out it looking too "race car-ish" (if that makes any sense). i think that the few touches like the door pulls, knobs, seat belts, etc... gave it that feel without taking away from the finished street car look.

Thin coat of Paint almost likely.

Powder coat would be too thick and would effect performance of the rad.

If its an ally rad, then black anodised would best bet

It is not annodized. annodized aluminum that has been welded changes it moleculary and will not annodize consistently around the welds. Paint works best and does not affect radiator performance.

Thanks guys, I kinda thought powder would be too thick.
