It doesn't look like i'll make it. I think my grandpa is getting married that weekend in WV.

By the way, I got my car running, but I haven't had time to finish the minor details to get it on the road.

Kenny, I bought that Griffin radiator from Jegs. It is pretty sweet. I think it is the same as yours, but I did get it to fit (not perfectly) under the stock upper support.

Everybody have fun,...and Kenny, have a good nap.

 

[kenny]

Yours has to be bigger than mine, mine is way too short to fit under the stock shroud.

Did you end up going with the smaller one? It fit decent in the ugly car, wasn't perfect, but good enough.

... now back to sleep.

 

[turbojustin]

The one I got is 31 x 19 inches with 2 rows of 1 inch cores. It was $100 cheaper than the one with 1 1/4 inch cores. I just couldn't convince myself to spend another $100. I will let you know how it works out so you will know if you want to spend the extra $$.

Sorry Jere,

Can't make it. I-70 doesn't connect anywhere with the autobahn.

Now if you had this a month or so later, maybe we could talk. I'm always ready to come running for food.

Bring some of Whit's recipes.

Hey Justin, so if your grandpa finally gets marries does that mean .you're not ILLEGITIMATE anymore.
Just kidding, Buddy.
Hows the training coming?
When we gonna get to see the car?
Speaking of radiators, I just picked up a B Cool but I'm not done polishing it yet, gonna see how much difference it makes.

We had to have had 4" in about a min here today.
I was a full blown Monsson, BTDT.
From sunny to dark, and thunder was about 3 mins..]

Of course I was out working on the GN.

But, I now have the ecm, on the passenger seat, so no breaking my back to swap out proms or ecms. Should have done this years ago....

 

[kenny]

Jeremy, have you talked to Testa at all latley? I sent him an email about a chip and haven't heard back. He on vacation or something?

 

[gn85]

Jere,

Quit warming up the BBQ and check your email!!

Good idea Bruce. I've often thought of relocating the ECM myself. But I'm lazy.

I don't I haven't talked to him for a couple weeks. I'll try and get a hold of him today.

Jere,

Quit warming up the BBQ and check your email!!

As soon as I get in touch with Jim, I can get you the chip CW. Sorry for the delay.

Can't wait to see everybody!!

 

[kenny]

Cool, hopefully it's nice this weekend so we can all drive our Buick's.

I am coming from the north so any directions from here would be great. I figure on coming down 71 south into columbus but not sure where to go from there. Thank You. Jim and Rachael.
