Radiator blues - Fragrance of a rebuild
Desiring an OEM radiator type, I picked up the first one from Summit. The transmission line nuts were bad and I was glad to get rid of it, but the warranty had lapsed long before.
Picked up the second radiator from a different manuf. via speedway. Shook like a tin maraca. Heard about US radiator, $1100 gets a real nice piece you'd think. Heavy, perfect shape and fit, and a super finish. When all else is said and done it leaks. I have an appt. for alignment Wednesday, and will get confirmation in writing. What a hassle and expense, and the delays even worse. The strong and lasting odor of a fresh rebuild took me by surprise, testimony  auto paint, powder coat, hot & cold cerecote, and por15 engine paint. Kind of cool really
