Radiator w/ metal tanks found !
 

problem is, Its used and bought it off the internet
from a totalled car.
Someone spent some serious time to build BRASS metal
upper and lower tanks that replicate the original plastic
ones. I have no idea who did it and cant find any name
on the unit so far.
I took off some of the paint you can see shiney brass
tanks :eek:
If one was made, Im sure more can be. Just have to find
someone willing to take on the challange :(

Awesome find! I wouldn't waste my time looking for the craftsman tho, proably someone angry enough to not pay $300 for a new one.

I bet he paid at least $300 for this one, but then so would I for the quality of it.

Ha! mabey more, but It wasn't paid to the MAN :D

Holy crap!
Would someone really do that and only do one?


<-- got complimented on my PWR aluminum rad by the guy doing my exhaust last week. :D

PWR rad performs better and looks better, all i need to know...

That is an amazing find. Maybe the guy worked at a radiator shop and did it in his spare time?

I'd love for you to track back the VIN and previous owners and find out who made it, why, and how many of them they made. Oh, and if they'll make more :)

From the picture, it looks like good quality construction.

Im going to get the VIN off the car and carfax it
and take it from there.
The car was from the Wash state area, Tacoma
was its last home I think, that or Dubuque Iowa

Cool. I'd be really happy to find out that our radiator is the same size as one from another car and the brass units are available. I know I'm dreaming considering how many vertical flow radiators there are in the world, but if you're going to dream, dream big!

I can tell you right now this was custom done, every little detail needed
for the Svx fitment, and attachments are hand built and fit perfect.
