1941 (late) Ford Street Rod Radiator (Model 11A)
1941 (late) solid core radiator
1941 (late) Ford Street Rod Radiator e.g. February to December production
This is the street rod radiators Images reflect past builds and illustrate various elements of design. The radiator you order will be constructed based on the information you provide for your bespoke build.
Due to the prominent position of the radiator tank we prefer to hand fabricate each tank with ribs to replicate the OE design. The street rod build can save money with a deep drawn tank so we offer this tank alternative.
Made in the USA
In this period Ford manufactured radiators at Dearborn (D), and also at Green Island G) and had three additional suppliers, Modine (MO), McCord (MC), and Long (L). Ford furnished those outside suppliers with top and bottom tanks (11A) to be fitted with cores. 1940 and early (~January 1941) had the top fill on the angled portion of the tank. Later in 1941 they had a center filler cap. Please order accordingly.
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.
Model As 5-6 weeks
Heater cores ~6 weeks
Model A and 32 Ford Street rods 6 weeks
Common street rods ~12-15 weeks
Tricky customs & complicated restorations ~16 weeks months
We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
