Hello, from Sacramento, CA

[68DSU]

I think the radiator was a bit lower than the thermostat when mine was put together but not by much. I'm a little concerned that the hose might rub against the shroud. Since the radiator and engine are not directly attached to each other they will move independently and start sawing away at the hose.

Todd,
There are a few of us roadster owners in the Sacramento area. I'd have to work on recalling names but there are roadster owners that I know of in Citrus Heights, South Sacramento, Elk Grove, El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, Cameron Park and Placerville. Cars vary from non-op. to original to really nice daily driver. PM me for my phone number and send me your address. I come down the hill fairly often and I'd be happy to chat about roadsters with you either over the phone or by dropping by. Paul
