It’s no secret that keeping collectible vehicles cool can be a chore, especially during those hot summer months. One must think about air flow, fan size, shrouds, and of course, the actual size and construction of the radiator being utilized. Then there is the build material. Do you go with an old school copper and brass unit, or switch to aluminum? And then you’ve got to consider the overall thickness of the radiator, flow, etc. Honestly, it can be daunting. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ, we welcome Phillip Cochran from U.S. Radiator, to talk us through the dos and don’ts of vehicle cooling, and what you the consumer, should look for when planning your next build or restoration.
