Default Just received my Dewitts restoration radiator for my '62...

If you haven't seen one of these new out of the box they are an amazing piece of work. My wife took one look at it and said "Oh my gosh!"

I hate to install it. It might get a scratch or something.

The best thing about them is that they work as great as they look

Ordered mine about two weeks ago for the '61. Anxiously waiting for it to arrive. Went the same route you did....more $$$ but I only want to do this once and not have to make excuses later.

DeWitt's products are held in universal high-regard; you did the right thing.... If I ever need a radiator that will be the source I will use

"You either have a Dewitts radiator or you need one."

Ya, put one in my C5, never had to worry again. And, same thing: a work of beauty

Keep trying to think of a reason I need one for the 65

Forgot to add, when I needed it for the C5 there was an upcoming local NASA track event and DeWitts did everything they could to help me out and I made it to the event. They are really good people as well.

Couldn't be happier with mine, which I installed last year. Took the '62 on a 1600 mile trip last week, and even sitting in stop and go traffic in Indianapolis (outside temp in the upper 80's), my car never hit 180*. Great product.

You do get what you pay for and there will be no excuses. Wise choice!

Here's my '62 right after we parked early for a car show at Ruby's in Whittier Friday night for the maden voyage with the new radiator. The place filled up with great cars. My friend Larry is in the car. He had a stroke a few years ago and can't walk on his own, but he can ride in a convertible. He enjoyed getting out.
