Hawks Alum Radiator

Hawks is apparently making an alum radiator (CAMARO/FIREBIRD 82-2002 ALUMINUM RADIATOR), but the details are non-existant. Anyone with more info?

I have not heard anything, but I would definitely be interested to know more details about it.

If they don't have anything in the pipeline I know the owner of Cold Case and can ask - it's the only one they are missing from their product line currently.

Hawks has something but offer zero info. Apparently, you have to phone in—which seems odd.

As for Cold Case, if they can offer a true OEM alum radiator, one with zero fitment issues, one, say, with three rows similar to the Champion discussed in the sticky, one reasonably priced, I'd guess thirdgenners would jump on it. I would.

Re: Hawks Alum Radiator

Hawks is reselling Griffin alum radiators but they're on hold which is why Hawks isn't providing info.

Any chance you could explain what you mean by this - the rest seems clear.

Re: Hawks Alum Radiator

Normally product information is provided onsite. Why it's necessary to phone in when the product isn't available is a waste of time for Hawks employees as well as prospective customers—I spoke to three people and spent 10+ minutes to be told they had nothing to sell.
