Thanks

It appears that I ship my radiator to them and then they provide me with a quote?  Am I understanding correctly?

Call them and ask. In the absence of mass produced parts with a set price the best option is to direct your questions to the folks who know the answers and that's the folks at the radiator restoration shop. OEM exact reproductions are most likely not made because of the very low demand. I don't know, but my assumption would be it will cost you some money. If it's more than you're ready or able to spend you'll probably have to look at making a non OEM radiator fit. That too will probably be expensive. Custom fabrication is expensive unless one possesses the tools and skills to do it themselves. It can be a difficult decision to make but we all face it from time to time. I have WAY more money in my cars than a sane person would spend. I made one local fellow angry because, when he tried to talk me into driving my 38 down a muddy road to attend an event he was having, and I told him no because I have more money in the car than he makes in a year, he took that as an insult. I considered it self deprecating because I'm the one who was silly enough to spend the money.

@ragnar-2-2 Greg, I might be able to help. I looked at a bunch of radiators on eBay and did not see one that was suitable for a "stock" application . Brassworks has an excellent reputation. I would call them to get a price range and also ask about extra cooling capacity. If, for some reason, your tanks cannot be used, let me know.

Wise words from all!  I'll get a quote and pass it on here in the forum.

Greg
