1936 Chevy Standard sidewall surround

CS36 surround bracket

Regular price $349.99

The late 1935 Chevy Master and 1936 Chevy Standard radiators have different surrounds but both are complicated and require many hours to fabricate.  We now sell this component separately for the do-it-your-selfer or guy who purchased a Made-in-china one size fits all ebay finest.

We design this to the width of the OE radiator core and leave tabs on the side so it can be welded, soldered, riveted or drilled to the aftermarket version you bought.  If the aftermarket company neglected to maintain the OE width dimensions we will not redesign this part for them. 

There are no returns or refunds for this part.


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

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.
