    Peerless

    That's exactly what it is! They are buying that one and a 6-section sister rad. I hate selling them. I have a 36" tall, 5-feet long Rococo that will be the most beautiful rad when sandblasted. Very ornate.



    Folks have no idea how much work a rad that size is to just move a few feet let alone into the truck even with an engine lift and a jib crane on the truck. It's just too heavy. Any guesses?
