Building a Radiator

[CMangano]

I want to build my own radiator using copper tubing, but I wasn't sure if you could buy the radiator fins seperate or not. Does anyone know of a place you can buy the fins at seperate from the radiator?

hey i have no good way to explain how to build you own rad so i would suggest finding one. It is really hard to build one and probably cheaper to find one. Go to you nearby junkyard or dump and see if you can find an air conditioner rad or a car rad. Then you can cut it down to fit your needs. It is pointless and difficult to build you own.

You could go to auto parts store and ask about a small heater core, i picked one up for about $28.00. it was copper 9"x6"x2"
