Im posting this on a few G body sites to get ideas, opinions and info. Im just about finished with my car. I was originally going to use a Griffin aluminum radiator and a standard metal fan. After messing around trying to get the Cutlass radiator hold down and shroud to work with the aluminum radiator I decided to order a new copper/brass 4 row radiator and use that instead. I didn't like the fact that the rubber saddles don't fit like original.
Now Im considering using a set of electric fans with the OEM style radiator. I can still use the top piece from the Cutlass. I just wont use the shroud. Ive been looking online at different vendors that sell custom shrouds. I think the new core is 26 1/4 x 17. My plan is to spray the shroud semi gloss black to match the support and hold down. Has anyone done this ? If you have can you post a photo ?
Ive been kicking this around since I placed the order for the radiator 2 weeks ago. It should be here by the end of the week so I need to decide what Im going to do.
