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
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.

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.

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.
