Didnt say that.... c mon, answer the question
I would not want an aluminium radiator in my engine bay.
I would recore the original one (if it is really the correct one).
It is ok to puzzle a lower condition car together to keep it on the road but a nice one?
Needs to be done right.

Its not bling. Think of it as "personal touch". Bling is something that "might" (as in subjectively) look good but is absolutely and totally useless and ONLY there for looks. Let's not go down that road cause we all know where it leads.I guess its bling for me. Go with the damn champion....
You don't have to. I know what the implication is and it's irrational. This is not about effort.
You gotta know where to go Bob.....
Save it, Gary. It's a moot point, now.I guess its bling for me. Go with the damn champion....
Really? It is very impressive when someone endeavors to restore an object of great historical significance to exacting pin point originality and pulls it off perfectly, THAT is impressive......another 68' 383 Plymouth Roadrunner (or Chrysler or Dodge) that the factory made thousands of copies of is not. That's whats been disappointing about car shows more and more it the same old same old. How is looking at the same thing object copied over and over and over supposed to be impressive?So was the model A and original engine bay comments. An original appearing engine bay is difficult to maintain. Anyone can polish aluminum and chrome....goes back to Stans writing a check reference.
Obviously differences of opinion but original can be more impressve
Save it, Gary. It's a moot point, now.

Thank you everybody. I love lively discussions like this.
