41 radiator, original vs brassworks

[swoopNZ]

Anyone have the Drake 39/40 replica ?
Looks like a pretty good deal to me @ $875.

Re: Neck placement.
We communicate the OE neck placement when ordering but can place the neck wherever people want it. We recently had a gentlemen point out that his fluid capacity would be greater with a top placement which is an interesting consideration.

Re: Top Tanks
We have been moving to hand fabricated tank designs to better replicate the shapes and angles rather than generic smooth drawn tanks. They look more original but take more time. If you want OE its best for us restore with your OE tanks and sides etc.

The three row core and the 4 row should fit the 39-41 radiator(s) but we discuss the size at the time of order and encourage people to measure and confirm. Of all the radiators to squeeze more core in this is the one due to airflow and design and engine etc etc

I hope nothing I said is interpreted as a criticism. I went for function over originality. IMHO Brassworks makes the best radiators. No surprise to me that you have to pay for the best and made in the USA as well!

When I was looking for a radiator for my '39 p/u with an 8ba I spoke with Lee at Brassworks on several different occasions. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable insight to insure that the 4 row I wanted would fit. Of course my p/u will never be an original 100 point truck but that said I couldn't be happier with the product and service from Brassworks.
