Radiators

Post by Brian Amato »

Some time ago, there was a guy building beautiful radiators for Air Campers. Can't remember his name. Anybody know who I'm talking about?
Is he still with us? Anybody else picked up the job?

You're probably thinking of Forrest Lovley. He's got a current page on Facebook and it shows him located in Jordan, Minnesota. Not sure if he is still building those work-of-art radiators though.

Are you looking for affordable, attractive, or functional? Pick any two... you can't have all three ;o) You might get with Kenny Crider on this list. Kenny worked through some teething issues when he was getting the cooling sorted out on his Jeep-powered Piet and I'm sure he has some suggestions on what might work for you without spending a bundle of money.
