You've convinced me that if you are going to buck up for a radiator, that going the AutoRad setup is the way to go--I can't believe the amount of surface area available is so large for the radiator---they are spendy, but worth it now in my opinion.

What happened to Track Rat is that BOS had it ready for paint and then I went and had the panels stretched.. now it needs to be readied for paint AGAIN.. BOS is swampped right now so we are putting off that body work until after the Del Mar show. Then we will dive back in. Should go fast since we have the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes all ready to go.
I just borrowed the CF panels. The radiator was taken from the TR project for Penny since it's a bit more expensive and more fitting BP than TR whis is SUPPOSED to be a lower $$$ project.
As for the AutoRad deal.. Yea, it's a bit more $$ but that's because of the core support. The radiator itself is priced pretty good. I had a friend get one because if figured the core support was cheaper than having hours spent making a stock one look good (welding up holes, smoothing out).
The bodywork on TR has taken a lot longer than expected.. but that's what happens and I don't want to just slap the car together.
