Looks like your "Quality Control" process was better than the guy who put the raw material in the press! What a mesh he made of it!

Dave (papa), it would be a good conversation piece of your “unique” build. I think it would be fun to see how many people would actually catch it.
Dave (Hodgkins), that’s really cool looking honeycomb... where did you find that?

If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough....

Hi Kurt,
I got mine from a local So-Cal dealer called Industrial Metal Supply:

PS they also have a great deal on NOMEX, which you can use on top of your radiator. I painted mine black before installing it:

Vertical goes on the Right, Horizontal on the Left.....thought everyone knew that...da Bat
Your left, or my right?
Sitting in the car or looking at it from the front?
So many variables.....
And thanks Dave! And it looks like you engined turned that radiator cowl???? I must have missed that (or forgot, I’m old) in your refresh thread.
NOMEX? Radiator? Like in front of it? Doesn’t restrict airflow?
Kurt
P.S. I found the NOMEX and radiator shroud on your thread Dave

The dirt track guys swear by it - saving radiators from mud / rocks / etc.
I'm using it too - pretty much requires a fan shroud in hot weather / hard running to move enough air.

To be clear, I was doing Ok on water temp autocrossing running the FFR supplied fan mounted to the back of a Summit radiator.
First autocross with the honeycomb - the stone guard had to come back off - climbing water temp.
Ok for years (with honeycomb) after adding a Summit fan shroud to the FFR supplied fan.

If you decide to use the Nomex don't forget to order the mounting kit, a simple way to attach the Nomex to your radiator.
