Jared Black God Member Offline Chevy Speed Posts: 611 Arcadia, OK Gender:	Project Super Nova Radiator 04/27/08 at 22:20:19 A new radiator / fan combo has ben long overdue for SuperNova. With the upcoming cruise, the original 1 core copper/brass would just not keep up. I've been working on this car for over 8 years and this will be the first time I get it out for the cruise. JB
