Is this radiator correct for my NJ 1966 K-code?

I plan to have Glen-Ray Radiators in Wausau, WI restore my radiator. Quoted me at $500-$600.
Their motto: The bitterness of poor workmanship remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten...quality is our hallmark.

I suppose all you concours guys have original radiators as well. ;)
CharlesTurner:
It depends on the type of glass bead used. The brass parts can be hit with a scotchbrite pad to smooth the surface back out before paint.

"In rebuilding, ... Glass beading of all parts comes next" (http://www.restorationradiators.com/radiatorresto.htm)
Once blasted the finish is never the same, which is why I do my own prep for quality ;)

I'm not trying to win any awards. I just want a kar that feels nearly new again and will be a driver. But I'll tell ya, this site and it's users have motivated me to do far more concours restoration than I intended. :)

Seeing your building a concours 66 GT 350 clone wouldn't this be the correct time to locate a correct San Jose radiator instead of using a NJ/Dearborn example???
just my 2 cents

Think his aim is a factory like NJ K code with some Shelby features. ::) Just an example of how these things can get confusing IMHO
Changed the title a little so that it can be left in the none Lobby area. ;) If we mix details from one plant to anther too much in a thread it will not benefit other members and viewers - and we'll be tempted to move them since their will then relate to subjects not in tune with the goals and focus here
