Want to get a an aluminum radiator - but do not have a heated garage and will be starting up the Mustang from time to time. Anything to worry about weather wise besides having the correct temp mix anti-freeze in??

We better hope not, virtually every new car on the road today has an aluminum radiator in it. Provided you use the correct mix of coolant for the temps in your area, and a mix safe for aluminum you will have no problems.
