Thread: Another radiator question.

If you have access to a dairy supply place, or a larger steel supplier, you could go stainless tube. I had short runs of aluminum on the plane, after a number of years, it did show some corrosion in small spots on the inside of the tube. Even with the antifreeze 50/50 mix. A bonus is, the exhaust shops can bend the stainless with no problems, less joints, less leaks. As a side note. Had one guy make the headers for a Vee Dub powered plane from stainless. Had them tig welded, looked nice when done. Just thinking the piping could fit up nice and tight to the vehicle with the proper bends, would look like they grew there! Sniper

I like your bedsides. Did you roll the bead before the brake?

Thanks. Yep we did. I actually "inherited" that bed in it's entirety. My Son built it for his sedan-turned-roadster pickup, but later on changed his mind and bought a model a bed from Brookville. We had to shorten it and narrow it to fit my truck, but the basics were already done. I even got the metal tonneau cover we built and that he sent out to have 224 louvers punched in it. I made out REAL good dumpster diving that day!

Here are pictures of it when it was on his roadster.
