Beautiful car man. I'd hit the front of the aluminum radiator with a bit o' flat black so it sets your grille off mo' bettah. Very tastefully done.

You should bring it to the 45th Anniversary Mustang Show next year here in Birmingham.

I dont think I would paint the radiator flat black, it will not allow it to dissapait (sp) heat correctly. Now, if you use lacquer, I think it would be ok. However, I would call a radiator shop and ask them first just to be sure.

Unbelievable work Darreld.
It's all down hill from here on out. You need to get you a FB now and start all over again.
Those full length long tube headers look kinda low..... Are they the lowest point on the car? I'm not a big fan of long tubes for this very reason. They're great on a track car, but the first time you hear them scrape/clunk going over a speed bump/pot-hole you'll know what I mean.
Get that sucker finished up, don't you have some car shows to get to?

Your car is absolutely stunning. Seriously, it looks awesome in every way if you ask me. Usually verts look a little tame to me but yours just screams "FAST".
Since you are a little burnt out with projects, I would not rush into painting the radiator as I think it looks fine as is. If it is something that you want to do down the road, it will still be there.
Nice work, your car is an inspiration to me.
