saying...
My name is Jeff Cooke; I live in Tampa, Florida. I own a 1941 Willys, two door, coupe. It has a 350 cubic
inch Chevrolet motor, 530-horse power with Turbo 400 transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end, and a
3.0 gears. My car was built to be a "driver" with air-conditioning and all the luxuries of a modern
automobile.
I was running a Walker 4-core radiator up front and a Nissan radiator in the trunk. During the summer on
90-95 days with the A/C on, the Willys temperature would reach 220-230, in stop & go traffic within a
short period of time. If I got stuck in traffic jams I would have to turn off the A/C as the temperature
reached 230.
I was at the Street Rod Nationals in Tampa, October 2000. Word spread about the Willys with "two
radiators", this was quite unique and worked much better than the Walker alone.
Bob Fett of Cooled by I.C.E. came over to check out the radiator setup on my Willys. We talked and I
explained how I had piped the water to the trunk and how I circulated the air. Bob and I talked over an
hour, finally he asked if I would be interested in him building me a radiator which would cool my Willys.
After hearing how his radiators are built, I said yes. Please do, as I would love to have my trunk back.
I sent him all the measurements for the radiator and within a short period of time he called telling me the
new radiator was ready. I drove to Sarasota to pick it up. I was very impressed, it was beautiful and I told
him if it cooled as good as it looked, it would be great.
I installed it right away, I couldn't wait to see if it worked better than my old setup. I left the radiator (turned
off/"shut off valve") in the trunk as a backup just in case my old setup was the best design.
I installed the new radiator in April where the temperatures during the day were in the 70's. My Willy ran
so cool (under 160) that I had to install a 180 thermostat to warm it up.
Finally, summer arrived (the big test) and I dropped back down to a 160 thermostat. Daytime
temperatures reached 90, while driving in heavy traffic with the A/C on, my water temperature was only
190. In all the miles I have driven with the new radiator, it has never run over 200, no matter what the
traffic problems have been. During the cooler nighttime driving, the thermostat usually runs 160.
At the end of the summer, I was totally convinced and I removed the second radiator from the trunk.
Bob Fett with Cooled by I.C.E. has made my car fun to drive; I never worry anymore about it overheating.
If you Hot Rod, Muscle Car or any car for that matter has a heating problem, let Bob build you a radiator
and end your problems for good. He cooled my Willys and he can cool your car too.
