This is a 1925 running chassis I got without a body and fenders so the Tourabout was easiest to build except for the seats. Do I cut radiator or fender?
I certainly wouldn't cut the radiator! You could notch the fender around the radiator and no one would notice.
Austin, from your photo, that return piece on your radiator looks too deep to me. Both mine are a mite less than 1/2" at that point. Yours looks deeper than that.
For what its worth.
Is it possible to fold the brass piece over at that point?? No cutting needed that way.
I went ahead and notched the radiator overhang.
