I need some street rod guys to help me cool my chopper
Im hoping someone here can help me out. Im building a liquid cooled chopper and the factory raditor looks awful. What I want to do is replace it with somthing that looks good or can be concealed. To conceal it it needs to measure around 12x5. I have found many trans and oil coolers that would work for either plan but they all have tiny fittings. Are there any coolers that have fittings around 3/4s? All the chopper guys tell me to use a car heater core which might work for concealing it but there a know good sources for heater core measurements. So I figured street rods always have nice looking cooling systems and some street rod guys could help me out.

I THINK THAT EARL'S SUPPLY HAS SOME NICE BIG COOLERS THAT YOU COULD USE.ZOOM--ZOOM
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
