I have to agree with Weeg, folks have been kinda rough on each other lately. Let's keep this a friendly site and recognize that not everyone is Internet savvy. Bottom line is we are all hot rodders and hot rodders should help each other out. Nothing wrong with a some playful kidding around, but let's not be mean.

Great to see another hot rodder in the family. Dont let these winers ruin your excitement. As with all hobbies/sports you are going to find more opinions than you may want. Keep the finished vision in front of you and you wiil leave the rest in these winers in the dust. As for radiator, I recommend Walker Radiators as well. My dad and I have logged over 200,000 miles on our 34 with a Walker. AFCO also makes a nice aluminium unit. One thing for sure, you are going to need to introduce yourself to some local rod shops as you start the project. If you found this site, you are no stranger to search engines, so have fun. Let me know if I can help.
Now that I know your roddin, I would suggest getting a aluminum radiator that will fit, the sites that the others suggested are good ones to get the radiator, If your still worried about overheating you can run 40 below ( from jegs ) and distilled water, and run standard coolant with that mixture, only if you don't feel like flushin out the radiator when u put it up every year, If you don't care about having to flush it, just run the 40 below and distilled water, then this will effectivley drop your coolant temps 40 degrees. The cooler you can keep your coolant, the longer your radiator will last.
Hey Mick, welcome to hot rodding. Post us up some picks of yer ride and lay the specs on us. Somedays you have to be pretty thick skinned to survive on this site, but the wealth of information and ideas you can gain makes it very worthwhile.
yeah, this place is
CRAZY
if you can get past it, these are the coolest people I ever met.
