Copo Camaro Radiator

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: camaromb</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It looks like the radiator was built from some of the reproduction components Heartbeat sells. The brackets are not like the originals I have, slight differences from original. Most originals are very crust/pitted so repro is probably the best option. Also, the filler neck overflow is angled about 90 degrees from what I have seen on original radiators. How does the I O tank look? Not hard to create a curve neck radiator from a standard 4 core by making the I O tank and adding the curve neck.

I have 3 originals radiators I am working on now, I can send you pictures if you need any. I have A B and C dated to compare to.

Thanks - would love to see some pics.....especially the filler neck area - it's coming apart anyway - so it needs to be done correctly.

i have had good luck with HBC radiators - they are very close and they are all have the new parts - which is key.

the only thing i do if we use a HBC rad is we make sure there is no paint on them or any other shop doing the work...we like to
do the finish work and apply our own paint process to it to give us the look we are trying achieve.

At least it was free shipping....haha!

One of the tanks is not being re-popped - the IO - so that must be original.....

Curved Neck looks fine to me. Seal it up and let it soak in tub of &quot;Evapo Rust&quot;. </div></div>

Stefano - I'll spray bomb it as is and sell you the car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Who says they are not making repro I O tanks? Not hard to have a few I O s stamped along with the I L s when the tanks are made.

[RS_COPO_Canuck]

Are they? I can only find OO and IL - among others....which doesn't mean they aren't....just that's all that I have found.

[camaromb]

If you could get $ 4000 for a radiator than might sell for $ 1,000 by changing an L to an O in the one brass tank would you advertise the I O tanks for sale?

[RS_COPO_Canuck]

Well yeah - but I would like to think there is some honor......as soon as I get the tank off I will do a CSI on it.
