      Here is a recent thread. https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...hlight=autorad

      As far as worth the money, his radiators aren't anymore money than any other quality radiator. The fit and finish on the fan shrouds is beatiful, and again, for $200 not much more money than a plastic shroud and fans.

      The core support is debatable. In the case of a tri five chevy the gain in core size with conversion to cross flow makes it a no brainer, same with a Nova. On a Chevelle I could go either way.

      I have 3 AutoRad radiators here in the shop plus a display model. If you want to swing by and see one, you are more than welcome.

      Here is a 70 Chevelle that we did a while back with a stock core support. Sorry for the picture quality......

      AutoRad opinion

      Thanks a lot Don for the pics and looking at the pics without the core it takes away from the overall look but I would want the entire combo with core support/radiator/cover panel. I have a 68 Chevelle BB I'm running and do you have a number inbox me and were are you located I'm in Chicago and are you selling any of the radiators or support cores shoot me an inbox and would you say this is a good set up to go with

      Outstanding product. I can say that the quality is without question one of the best I've seen. They are a great company to work with. The only complaint I have is the lead time is long, but he is honest about this up front unlike some manufacturers who give numbers designed to lock in a sell. If I had to do it again, I wish I would have known about this when I got to this point, but now they are doing plenty of advertising to get the word out. It's hard to really appreciate the true fit and finish of this radiator unless you've seen it with your own eyes.
