[s-cars] Re: S-car head repair

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Mr. P,
That has got to be the damn funniest thing I've read
in a long while, although I do partially resent and
wholly resemble your remarks.  :-)  You Cahlahradah
folk ain't so bad after all.  Where should I send the
money order/check for that RSB kit you have in your
garage?  Oh, and I don't know if Hap talked to you yet
or not, but I'd be interested in a pre-fit
"Happercooler", and would probably want to fit that
shorter, thicker radiator if it would help with
clearance at all in those regards.  Let me know what
that toy's gonna set me back cost-wise and have a good
one.
