RPM offers a radiator that fits their 32 shell.

The video I bought from tbucketplans.com shows how to put stainless tubes in a ‘glass grill shell. Real easy and looks good.

Here is one that I made for my 32 grill for my 3/4 scale roadster. As you see it doesn't have the outer frame around it, but I am not that talented, plus a little lazy.

I probably won't us one. I'd want it to look "right". And looking "right" cost more than I care to spend on a grill shell. A T shell is around $125 and a S/S insert can be formed and bonded in place for $50. Can't beat the price and what can look better than a T grill on a T?

CCR has nice chrome ones, so I heard.

They do look nice, but I don't want that much chrome on my build. Also, CCR's fiberglass grill shells are wider and I like that.

I talked to Diane at CCR today and there are a few parts that had to be cut with a water jet. They'll get them installed and my body should ship. Looking for an ETA of next week!

Nice, you will like it. I've been doing the work thing.... I have been chasing an electrical gremlin on mine. I think I have it fixed. Just have to wait for the ok from the doc before I try to push it out of the garage and run it. Hopefully it'll shut off when the ignition is turned off.

I'll make an effort to check in more often.

There's a diode to fix that from Radio Shack. I'll see if I can find the info.
