| Early Birds [1955-1957] Have a Super Sharp 1955 to 1957 Thunderbird or just want to learn about them? Show yours off and talk about them here. |
This is a discussion on Radiator within the Early Birds [1955-1957] forums, part of the Thunderbird Model Years category; I'm about to get the radiator redone - any tips for this seemingly standard item?...

Brian,
I hope you are as lucky as I have been with our local radiator shop. He has done three '57 radiators for me and they are functionally perfect and cosmetic jewels. The bad news is: he is a tri-five Chevy guy. Don't take radiator repair for granted. Here are some things I've noticed on '55-'57 radiators: (1) Overflow tube is the wrong configuration. (2) Lower fan shroud bracket not soldered to lower tank. (3) Upper tank top half installed backwards. You see, it isn't such a safe, routine repair. Some shops have managed to screw it up! Best of Luck, Tom

Thanks for the insight. That is hard to believe.
I've got lots of pictures of everything, and I can point those items out. BTW, new fenders getting hung this weekend, the body rolls along.
