[DeTomaso] Radiator Dilemma

Jack,
I received lots of good feedback on radiators recently as you may have seen. I have an older Hall Brass radiator that was in good shape overall in our car which I decided to repair for a couple hundred bucks and add their Mariah fans since mine were stock. Many people like the Hall one. Many liked aluminum, especially the Ron Davis sold by Pantera Performance.
Dennis Quella @ http://panteraperformance.com/ was recommended for a high quality, all tig welded aluminum setup from Ron Davis racing. I was told they do not stock them and they special order them as needed, takes about 3 weeks to a month. I believe his radiator and fans package are around $1600.
Doing some research, I came across Brassworks, haven't heard of anyone but they do reference a Pantera owner on their site. They are kind of expensive, around $1300. There may be other Brass/copper radiators done by others, but I haven't seen any.
Sooo, timing and money were one factor for us, plus our radiator is repairable and works well, will work even better once the fans and correct relays are in. The Hall radiator is around $600 brand new. http://hallpantera.com/
Hope this helps some, good luck.

Hello Jack:
What seems to be the problem with your existing setup, you have had it 12 years ?

Hey all - I need some good advice on radiators. I currently have a Fluidyne performance unit without a shroud. I've been told that a shroud is a necessity, which I understand. I've had it for about 12 years now - no leaks. The rumblings on The List lean towards a unit by Dennis Quella(?) - don't know the correct spelling or the company, but the last I had read from someone was just to get his radiator and "be done with it". I think it was a double-pass (I guess that's good) - and I assume it's shrouded. Another side of me asks - which is better - copper or aluminum? And Why? I know the copper units are heavier, but I am not concerned about extra weight. I am familiar with the company - Brassworks - they have been at it since the early 1900's. Ken and Lela MacArthur had mentioned Brassworks in July. So - here we go - I know the discussion will generate a fair amount of opinions - which I always welcome, since it will generate more questions too. Looking forward to hearing from all the experts - i know you are out there.
