We need to re do it!! Under the aluminum top they have saw the sell extreamly rawly. First and Last BeCool radiator for me

Nicely done so far! Looking good!

Regarding that BeCool radiator, was that a custom build or is that a factory fit item? I would agree that the issues you pointed out are....well...issues. I would send them a picture and ask if that's representative of their usual level of workmanship.

If you weren't in Finland I'm betting that thing would be going back.

The build looks awsome and im doing a 68 Chevelle SS

I was going to go with the BeCool but decided for a couple more dollars I opted for the AutoRad radiator, core support and radiator,fan shroud set up and I may say craftmanship is first to none even though the lead time was 12 weeks well worth the wait love it and would never get any other radiator. Good luck with the build
