New radiator

Anyone ever put a new aluminum radiator into a 55-56? The one in my 55 Pat just sprung a leak and there is no one in Pahrump that fixes same, so I took the radiator I had re-cored over a decade ago and was stored for use on my Panther and installed it in my Pat instead. I have decided, since it is restomod, to install a new aluminum one instead and I will probably use an attached thermostatically controlled electric fan.

The one in my Pat never overheated even in 115F stop and go traffic in Las Vegas, but repairing an old used one is a specialty thing and probably about the same $ as a new aluminum one considering S&H costs.
