Yes.

As I understand it, it's still my radiator, with modifications to the tanks top and bottom to fit..

It was cleaned, flushed, whatever for flow, and then the tank mods were done, most from a 2liter radiator.. It looks great..

In the muffler shop today, Kevin is building an exhaust..

Kevin said it SHOULD be done enough to drive there.. I'm registered, so i'm going to say probably!


I think we are past all the third party stuff out of our control at this point... Either way, I will be there..
