Ben.
As shown by the example you just posted:
http://www.benplace.com/front_radiator.htm
we see, again, that you have a great website. I mean, I am STILL in
the process of modifying my fridge with fans, turbo, supercharger.....
--- ;^) When done, I'll post pics and text. Of course that takes time.
Can't imagine what it's like for someone who makes a living doing this
stuff AND posts so much info/pics.
(not comparing me to you btw. Just expressing appreciation. I'm a hack!)
In reference to a response of yours' to another post earlier today;
yes of course do what's best for you.
(like you need MY permssion!)
But.....
Just don't be swayed by other stuff or peoples' opinions.
Just my .02, in support of your online efforts,
Neil.
