[Spridgets] Aluminum Radiators

[Neil Anderson]

I bought a Wizzard for my Sprite project and then sold it to my buddy for
his modified 1275 Bugeye.  Wizzard radiators are not cheap, but they're
made here.  BTW, my friend and  I are driving his Bugeye from Chicago to
southern CA, leaving in two weeks for Conclave.  Road Trip!
