Re: My long term 57 project
The radiator I had custom made by Griffin in Piedmont SC. It's 2 row aluminum, and I paid to much for it!! But I wanted it to fit right and not stick above the top of the support. It is sitting in a SS tray that is held in place by the support to frame bolts on the bottom. And another SS tray on top that is bolted to the support by 4 bolts that are hidden below it. The fan mounts are my own design that I first drew up on poster board and then had scanned. The file was loaded into a very large punch machine and the two pieces were cut from aluminum and then I bent them on a large brake. They are a tight fit over the top and bottom of the radiator. The fans are bolted to them using carraige bolts. The hoses are made from tubing that I painted with hight temp paint and clear. It runs cool and has never gotten above 190 even on the hottest days here in SC!
