GPR

[Glenn Kaufman <gkaufman@ftp.com>]

I bought a radiator from them for my Coupe GT and had problems with it.
There was a bolt on the top of the radiator (presssure release?) which came
off and left me stranded.  A local radiator shop soldered it back on for $25
but this never should have happened on a new radiator so I have had a mixed
experience with GPR.
