For the first time in a long time, I am absolutely speechless. The very nice words from all of you are way beyond anything I deserve or could have asked for. If there is anyone who is thankful, it is me. Everyone on this forum has been first class in all respects, and have made this project as good and as fun for me as it has been.
Knowing that some very educated and talented eyes will be looking at what I post pictures of has kept me at the grinder a little longer sometimes, and that is a great incentive to try to do the best job you can.
You guys and gals are the very best, and the reason this forum is of such a high caliber. I really hope some day there is a CHR Nationals, and we all get to meet. That would be the coolest.
I hate to post my meager little job I got done today, but here it is. I finally got the radiator bolted down, but had to first clearance the front of the mounting bracket to clear my headlight mounts. After that I tapped some 3/8 threads into the frame and got it mounted. I will still have to put some rubber insulators under it when I do it for the last time, and I am going to make up some radiator support rods to keep the top from pushing back under airflow at speed, but for all practical purposes it is now all done.
Here are some shots of that work, and once again everybody, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
