TIG welding, and spending an hour pressure testing each cooler fixing the "summit supplied" leaks in the cooler. including all the hoses/clamps/new powersteering cooling line kit/ect and being able to provide customer support on the product instead of a taillight warranty.
Don't get me wrong Rob, I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into your products. I'm not bashing you or the supercooler. I just wasn't expecting that kind of price tag, and I posted that while still in sticker shock. Like I said in a different post, the last radiator I replaced cost me $30, so I was a bit alarmed by the price of the supercooler. Of course, that was 20 years ago, so there you have it.
All that said, I'll probably order one before the heat of summer is upon us.
