Default BDR 1178 has arrived! and a couple questions

All,
Have a look at BDR 1178. I'll post engine and trunk, etc in a bit.
I drove her from BDR in Boynton Beach to my place in Punta Gorda, FL a couple weeks ago. It was a perfect day and a perfect drive.

I've been lurking here for about a year, learning a lot, but just soaking up knowledge instead of yacking.

A couple questions:
First, I have the canvas soft top. For the life of me I can't get it to fit in the trunk. The fiberglass bar that fits the top of the windshield is the limiting factor. Anyone with atop have any ideas?

Second, the car seems to run very hot. The engine is the 427 from Speed Fanatix in Florida that BDR sources. The fan is almost always on, even at highway speeds. It's never gone over 100C, but it's at about 95 a lot of the time. Is this normal, or should I think about the high efficiency radiator?

Thanks,
Brendan
