Thanks man!

Where did you get an aluminum radiator that has the coolant outlet on the passanger side (where the upper rad hose connects to)? This is the first time I have ever seen that. Very cool.
It's actually a Fluidyne Radiator and since we're using AN fittings for the radiator hose, with the Water neck being on the same side as the Radiator filling neck, it looked strange with the two big AN fittings and a short braided radiator hose.

So, the fabricator at the shop removed the radiator filling neck on the radiator and rewelded it to the opposite side so there could be more Braided hose length for the hose.

Wow, you're the first person to tell me that. When I built the car back in 2006, I actually had tint on it but decided to remove it to have more of a clean look. Thanks for the compliment!
