Default Re: Copo Camaro Radiator

i think it looks sloppy IMO - - for a high end car getting restored. Might be ok for a driver/survivor....

not sure about the curve neck, but when we do radiators - our guy takes them all apart - we pick them up and media clean all the metal
parts, tanks, top and side etc....then we take the dents out...when we are happy with the finish - we bring them back to the rad shop to install with the new core.....soldering is done nice and smooth.....we get them back, any final cleanup on the tanks,rails etc is done and prepped for final finish work - paint applied.....then come out very nice....they take work, again, depend on what your looking for.....

not criticizing here anyones work - - but if you want a show car finish - the rad needs some help

I know - It is getting everything you mentioned above - it's the only way for any/all of my cars. I tried buying the untouched original core so I could do all of the above - but that wasn't an option. So mo-money, mo-money, mo-money.... lol
