Motivated I pulled the radiator back out of the car (attempted a durafix job to it with no luck)
So as of now the car sits undriveable until i find another radiator solution
SO to describe my reaction via smiley's Please see the following:
What type of radiator is it again? Maybe I can help locate one.

Juda is about an hour-ish south of Madison, via hwy 104. I actually went to gradeschool in Juda, grades 2-4. lol! When're you going to make the trip? If you bring that mirror with, I could probably meet you somewhere along your route as well!
