That is really beautiful, Tony. And what a price!
Two questions:
- Is the drain hole accessible? It seems that it would be right
over the crossmember.
- Does this craftsman also work in brass? Brass tanks can be
soldered to the copper headers of all the rest of 505, 604, and 504
radiators (only the '86 TD, and 405s use an aluminum radiator).
Thanks for the great pictures.
