That sure is a pretty truck !! center of attention i"ll bet!! :rock:
 
very very nice Roy:rock::rock::rock:

how was the radiator install & ya been able to get any miles on it to see how it preforms????
 
I was next to a brand new Challenger Drag Pak, it got most of the attention.

Great show in a very kewl city, St. Charles, IL...spent the weekend and really enjoyed it!

The experimental radiator is wonderful...it runs about 7 or 8 degrees cooler on average, but the big difference is in recovery. I can see the rapid cooling effect of having a radator core that is double the oem size, and the 30% increase in fluid helps a lot too. It is beautiful to boot...those who know tig welding usually say: "that radiator is a work of art"...

was that by invite or ya signed up????

looks like an all Mopar Iron Show

indoor show would be sweet
 
It was a huge show. Indoor and outdoor, sponsored by the Chicago Land Mopar Club.

The indoor portion was an invitation situation...but we were not judged...the outdoor show had lots of cars (maybe 300, and yes mostly Mopar) but was open to all American iron to include motorcycles.

This was the first year at Pheasant Run Resort...I am sure it will continue there for a number of years...
 
Carl the tail lights make the truck! I still get comments on the Fang Viper that you put in them!
 
Thanks Robert! Those kind of comments is what it all about!
