Man, when the famous "Car Wash Crash" ended the Trilogy song with exploding car parts I expected to see coolant from the Trilogy Radiator all over the concrete drying area pad. I looked for it as I helped the poor young Car Wash employee gal out from under the steering wheel. No leaks. After they moved the sexually violated and probably pregnant PT cruiser I found all of the bars, grill frame fiberglass front headlights and bumper cover pulverized. Most of the grill bars were spot welded into the Trilogy radiator. The fins are bent all to heck but the rugged son of a gun is NOT leaking. Salute! Ayah, I am a fan of the performance and now the quality of the components. Thanks Trilogy folks. Dennis :bows:

The Trilogy kit comes with a new radiator?

Nevermind, I found your other post. You're talking about the heat exchanger in the water-to-air intercooler system. Your mention of "radiator" misdriected me.

I probably misdirected myself, too, Mac. What ever it is technically called it mounts in front of the general cooling system radiator. Dennis

He means the heat exchanger. Sorry to hear about your accident. Will the repair include any upgrades?

The Zack Supreme Grill treatment arrives tomorrow and will be the crowning finishing touch to the restoration. Zack has mounted 466 S. CRYSTALS in my crome on DTR badgeless grill. Sunglasses only by IAEC warrent!

This past weekend I copy catted your Trilogy paint job on the horn. The Ford folks are installing my Blue Powder Coated GT cam/valve covers as we speak (thanks to you, Charlie and King Fubar where I first saw them) and then to the body shop for the estimate and repair. My Trilogy #110 engraved coil covers are ordered and will be in soon along with Gods heads bolt caps and Marauder Supercharged Oil Cap Cover. If I haven't had a stroke by then I bet you will have something else I want to copy. Thanks for the info, concern and ideas everyone. Dennis:D

Sorry to hear you had a little incident Dennis.
Glad to hear you are taking it in stride.
Good luck on the mods, you are an inspiration to the collective.
I saw the first Jewel laddened grill Zack did, noting short of stunning.
The pics he posted made it look like Ka Ka :tongue: .
In person, It looked very kool.

I'll do a search and find it but for the sake of the rest of the gang it would be nice if someone posted the link to the main story. :)

Thanks,

Dan
