Does anyone know if the rad. plates were originally painted black from the factory or left unpainted? I've seen them both ways in restored cars. Mine is bare metal, a result of an overzealous detailing session last summer.

They've been watching too many Barrett-Jackson auctions.

Hi Randy,

My understanding is the entire raditor was originally painted black. Seems to be some problems to get paint to stick to the brass and tin very well so you see polished radiator top tanks often.

Cheers,
John
 
Naw John, just about any old rattle can black paint will stick like glue.The tanks are polished for show and to improve cooling.---Keoke

Sorry I let the cat outah the bag John.--- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

I know this seller. I just bought a Lucas dizzy cap from him for 99 cents. Included the wires. I guess he had to make it up somewhere.
 
--- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif SHG, IF en was that seller you would not have gotten a lucas cap for no 99 cents the postage/handeling cost alone would kill you.---Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Sorry to break yer heart, but 99 cents it was. Shipping was extra, but fair, and he threw in a rotor for another $5. It's all in black, white and ebay. so I got the proof.
 
He musta been Bloody Well Kaylied SHG and you took advantage of him.---Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
