I just got my 66 A-body man trans no ac radiator...nice quality piece, Don was great to deal with, very nicely shipped/packaged - it wasn't cheap but then again everything else on my 455 build went way over budget so what the hay! I'm made of money, right? :rolleyes: Seriously, I think I'll be ordering one for my Firebird when the time comes....

I was fortunate to make Don's acquaintance thru this Forum and purchase one of his 2 Gen radiators. Xlnt service and the best alloy radiator that I have seen.

You know, you get what you pay for...this wasn't cheap BUT the build quality is there. With what I've put into the 455 I'm building, and mistakes I've made in the past cutting corners...build it once, build it right.

as requested - look how it was packed, nice and solid - there was also a piece of cardboard over this as well...

I don't mind spending a little more money for quality...

You're welcome - that is a very nice looking piece, isn't it? Nothing against Rodney Red or Be Cool, but I'm sold on Alumitec. The Firebird is next, then the GTO...

yeah, don did a great job on mine too. he spent a lot of time talking me through all the measurements to make sure it was mad right the first time... and it was.

My only regret...I ordered 2 cans of Eastwood radiator paint - but that thing is so purdy that I'm not going to paint it!
