what happened to the homemade radiator?

does anyone know whathappened with the guy who was making his own radiator out of copper tubing?

did he get it finished?

did it work?

just wondering

 

That would be Smokey, and I dunno if it's done or not. Probably out workin on it instead of being on here blabbing away like most of us.

 

Dude that was looking like a ton of work.. and it musta been pretty heavy!!

I wonder what happened with that... Smokey!! give us an update!

 

BTTT

 

I read an article a year or so ago aout a guy that made br*** radiators i think. It showed step by step how he flanged the ends and sautered them together. He even had a flow pattern with baffel pieces running through it. It was supposed to keep temps really low! Someone else might know more about it.

 

Smokey makes ALL his own cool ****--
I think his RPU just started as a cowl,
And remember his metal-casting post?
How he was making lever shocks, his own hubcaps, and a mirror....
Man, I HATE that guy...

(Not really, I'm just REALLY jealous)

 

If Smokey said he was going to "build" an engine, the first thing you'd hear about him doing would be digging the iron ore out of the ground...


The guy is amazing. He has a real handle on HIS hobby.

 

lol and you can be for damn sure that he built that handle

 

I met Smokey this weekend and saw his RPU. Great workmanship on the mostly handbuilt body. He said his computer gave out so he hasn't been online for a while but will be back soon.

His casting projects and the radiator have taken a back seat to his son's car and other things. But he will be back on it soon.

"He said his computer gave out

So this means Smokey is now busy extracting silicon from gasket goo and building a computer around his own chips, right? I hope this makes TechOmatic.

 

alchemy,were you at Cruise to the Woods? I was there,50 Chevy white with red flames. I should have posted to see if there was gonna be any hambers there,I was wearing my hamb shirt.Sorry about hijacking the post!

 

Does anybody were I can get radiator supplies, like aluminum core, tubes, etc. I am trying to build an aluminum radiator.

 

Smokey is proly. making a gun to shoot you guys right in the *** for talking 'bout him!

 

Really? The last post was over six years ago. Start your own thread about radiators.

 

I know that it is a couple years old, but man it sounds interesting. Anybody have any links or pictures?
