Reviews
“The craftsmanship is unmatched.” — David Harrison
I installed a Frostbite aluminum radiator in my ’68 Camaro, and the difference was immediate. David Harrison explains that cruising temperatures dropped by nearly 20 degrees, even on long highway drives in summer heat. He noted how the lightweight construction made installation easier than expected, and the polished finish turned his engine bay into a showpiece. According to David, this is the first cooling upgrade that truly delivered everything it promised.
“Perfect fit for my classic truck.” — Maria Lopez
Maria Lopez shares that her ’72 Chevy C10 had struggled with overheating for years, especially when towing. After switching to a Frostbite performance radiator, she says the truck now holds steady at ideal temps—even during uphill pulls. She appreciated the application-specific design, which required zero modifications, and she felt the included billet cap cover was a stylish bonus she didn’t expect.
“A night-and-day performance upgrade.” — Steven McAllister
Steven McAllister fitted a Frostbite radiator into his Buick project car and described the experience as transformational. He highlighted how the high fin density kept coolant temps remarkably stable during stop-and-go city driving, where his old brass radiator constantly failed. He mentioned feeling more confident taking the car on longer trips, knowing the cooling system could finally keep up with the engine’s demands.
