Why not just post it here for all to see.
A little porn will be tolerated, I'm sure.

Still don't know where to purchase or a price though.

Do you have larger pics of that radiator? Looks real nice but even my 20/20 vision is squinting to make much out of those photos.

I have a used one available for $100 and can get it re-cored with a 3-row core for $300 more.

Or send yours to Ron @ San Leandro Radiator

I got a Ron Davis E28 aluminum radiator in 2014. I ran the stock E28 radiator from 1999-2014, but started to worry about the plastic side tanks. It was about $800 in 2014. The quality of the radiator looked great to me, although it took about 3x longer than estimated to actually make it and it required one weld fix for the drain which meant a return trip back to Phoenix that they paid for.

There's a bunch of pictures of it in this 2014 project album:

I finally got that radiator picture to display inline. I had a little fun with white rouge and a buffing wheel on the radiator frame and side tanks.
