    Can anyone give some insight on which brand of radiator would work best and still maintain an original look? I'm building a 35 ford pickup and will be running no fenders or hood and use a lightly modified 1951 flathead and c4 trans. Thanks

    I've dealt with The Br*** Works and have been very pleased with their quality and service.
    They can make any configuration you may need. As a plus, they are also a HAMB Alliance vender.

    Have a Br***works in my '39 p/u with an 8ba. Lee at Br***works worked with me to insure that a 4 row would fit and also modified the upper tank since I wasn't using a stock '39 flathead. Can't say enough good things at Br***works. Just be prepared for a long lead time. But quality takes time.

    I have a br***works in my '31, it cools great and being br*** and copper it looks good and is solid. I just received a new one I had built for my '34 p.u. It was shipped and packaged very well, which seems more important than ever because all boxes you get now are beat up. They do offer 50 off shipping for Hamber's, they have a back log so you should call them soon if you want one built. Worth it to me not to have Chinese junk. Just offering an opinion.

    I'm in the Br***works camp as well. The last 3 cars Dad and I built had Br***works radiators. I would not use anything else. You can find cheaper, but none as good.

    They may very well be out of business but some of the inventory is still available, a fellow club member purchased one last week from hot rod shop. HRP
