Glen-Ray Radiator install review - 06/15/10 09:00 PM

I just installed a new repro B body 26" rad today from Glen Ray Radiators.
WOW!
This is probably the best repro part I have ever installed in 25 years of Mopar Restoration.
The tanks and stampings are perfect
the anchors are perfect
the fit is perfect
the core is perfect
the paint finish is perfect
the packaging is perfect
the service from Glen Ray was beyond perfect
and it came with all the correct mounting bolts,clips,hose clamps and even a correct repro rad cap.
What else can I say?
WOW!

Excellent, but do you paint the petcock, thats the question.





Thanks for the kind words. I have put a lot of time into r&d to get this far. And yes, I do paint the petcock. The guy that actually assembled them at Blackstone has yet to call me back to confirm painted/not painted. His boss who I know had told me in the past that they were painted as part of the assembly as he recalls and petcocks on the assembly line where for leakers/damaged ones. But then again, were you actually there to know for sure???

They also have great repair service.I had a local guy recore a radiator and he did a nice job but the side brackets were wrong. So I had stopped by their shop on the way to a fishing trip and they swapped on a set of their repo side brackets for me.Fits perfect.

Bob re-did my 22in for my sixpack Challenger (yes, 22in with auto/323rear)and it is flawless and it cools WAY better than stock.

I'll jump on the band wagon...Bob re-did my 22 inch radiator on my 383 RR. No more over-heating problems...and it looks GREAT!

Alright already, that's enough butt grabbing!
Pissst, hey Bob, nobody knows, that 4th radiator I got from you is in the pint T/A and it is absolutely gorgous as always.

Got a 26" 956 Rad restored a few months back. Totally impressed with the workmanship and customer service . Bob is tops in my book!

I didnt know they did restorations, what is the cost vs purchasing a new one?

They quoted me a price between $500-$600 to recore my 054 radiator vs $1100 for new reproduction.

Delt with Bob to have one of my '69 BB A-body 065 rad restored. It came out great and has been in the car for about 3 years now with no problems. It resides in this car! Thinking about bringing another 1 to Bob at Carlisle to have done for my current project! The price back then was like $500.
