2X on the three cheers, one set for the Grad, and the other for the truck. Samsonite used to have an add, with a suit case in the gorilla cage at the zoo... Find that add on the web, and send it to Amazon.. Ask 'em if this is their shipping dept. ??

Or, maybe you should send Amazon a Samsonite suit case to ship your radiator in...??

Thanks for all of the well-wishes for my son!
All I did around the shop this weekend was clean up and get ready to attack the F100. I can't do much more to the Highboy until I get the new radiator.

Tell your daughter congrats! You should have her call him when she has no class.

Whoa Nelly! I think you're moving a little to fast for him.....and me. He doesn't even know what classes he's going to take this fall.

You can visit anytime you want.

I got the new radiator today and it was undamaged! Yea!



It's crimped aluminum with plastic tanks.
This radiator is not the one pictured on their web page, so it's going back.

Back in June, Randle was very generous and shipped me an absolutely perfect brass/copper radiator that I quickly ruined. I dropped it right on the corner from about 5' in the air and cracked at least 3 tubes. I wanted to puke. I was so disgusted with myself I didn't want to work on it, so I put the hood on it and stuck it in the corner of the garage. A few weeks ago I got a plastic/aluminum radiator but I haven't put it in yet. There's nothing like stomping all over someones good deeds.
I still feel like crap about it.

No need to feel bad those things happen. If you had rather have brass/copper I would be glad to talk that big brown truck into bringing you another one.
