72 Driver NorthCarolina UNDER CONSTRUCTION
 
Well with just over 1,800. miles my Chinese all aluminum radiator (Champion) started leaking were the tanks meet the core. Both sides, top to bottom. They do have a lifetime warranty. But its $29.00 shipping each way. Its just over $80.00 for a Chinese alum/plastic radiator here local.
So I bellied up for the new local rad. I need to keep driving it. To get warranty I need to ship first rad to west coast. Hopefully they will replace it with a new one. That I will sell or keep as spare.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/a3yqudap.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/jeqadyry.jpg

I hated to spend the money, but bought a Dewitt for my 72'. I forsee buying another for the 69' when the time comes.

The car is looking great! I've had bad luck with some of the aftermarket aluminum radiators with plastic tanks but then again I have the original radiators in some of my trucks for over 225k and they are still going strong. If I did anything other than the original Harrison I think I'd go with a fully welded aluminum radiator and just shell out whatever it would cost to keep it from biting me later on.

What ya think the repair bill is going to cost?

Oh wow man. Sorry to see this happen just after fixed your radiator. Hopefully you're able to get it back on the road soon. So what happen? It's kinda hard to tell from the pictures.
