Well done Ray.

No Joke man this build is gorgeous. I'm really impressed with the radiator setup. I've got a HS twin kit thats waiting to get put on the car and I'd love to do my radiator like yours when the time comes (if it ever comes, transmission swap kind of took precedence on my car at the moment). How is that radiator setup performing for you?

Who does your welding work? I've got a V1 HS Twin kit so eventually I'll need a cold side put together. HS has a gorgeous cold side for the v2 kits but I'm not sure that it'll be 100% compatible w/ the V1 hot side. Forgive my ignorance if the entire setup came from HS like that. I dont know if they do bumper exit setups.

The part number for the upper hose is Gates 22358 (one side of the hose has to be cut off).
