Hi all, seems like repairs never go away. After getting the steering shaft issue solved, I now need to replace the radiator. Just looking for recommendations, should I go aluminum or standard?

Does aluminum hurt the value? Last, any recommendations on where to get one?

Thanks, Rich

Paul's right. It was so many years ago I did that, I forgot about it.

There's a lot of info out there about how a fan should fit in the shroud. If you're doing a concours restoration it's a moot point, you have no choice. After over 50 years many cars have had parts changed, parts substituted,etc. so you'll have to look at what you've got, and how you use the car.

I bought my 55bird 16 years ago, from a State Patrol officer. He got it from an attorney, who got it from a drug dealer, who used it as a retainer. Dealing drugs from a Thunderbird Blue car, in Bellingham WA. It looked like a lot of work was traded for product, and they used the product while they did the repair. Just keep fixing things, it's worth it once you've got a reliable car.
