The Ford Barn

Anyone know if any supplier manufactures a new copper & brass radiator with an embossed and braced top tank like the Ford units for 39, 40, and 41? I can live without the factory split core but really like the "look" of the Ford tank. I have looked at the Walker unit and it appears to have a smooth upper tank. Looking for a stock flathead application and would prefer turnkey rather than a recore. Not sure a Brassworks full radiator restoration is in my price range either.
Thanks,
Jason

Bob Drake said a while back he is going to reproduce the 39/40 radiator.

I think Bob Drakes are finished and sell for $595 or so.

Custom Auto Radiator makes one pretty close to original, just does not have the X anymore.
