Thank you very much for the info. Radiator and Therms came in today. Can't wait to start putting some miles on my e-type. Big change from my Ferrari's, Porsche's and Lamborghini's.

Always wanted a 6cyl car but the right car came along - 1 owner car purchased from a 93 year old woman local to Savannah. That is a story in itself. V12- 4 speed, Wires, No Rust at all. Car ...
