New Radiator Died

[1965-Mustang]

Well I installed a new Griffin aluminum custom fit radiator which cost me $350 to fix my overheating problem. I had it all in and it fit nicely with the bolt holes however the fan looked a little close. Turns out it was after i turned it over. The fan connected onto the radiator and bent a ton of fins in a circle pattern and then jammed up under the top section. I should have foreseen this but I have not been able to drive the car in a couple years and this was supposed to be the last piece. I am 17 and have no money especially after a stupid $258 speeding ticket. So I am so pissed and ready to sell it after all that has happened even before this. But before I go that far can a radiator shop possibly fix this crap?

Oh and where could I possibly get a shorter fan spacer?

you'll survive man, grab you a summit racing chevrolet universal aluminum rad, they are like $170 and work great. Sorry bout the damage. join the group though, i put on a new $500 fiberglass hood and it flew up broke my windshield and crushed in the roof.

I'm a member too. I have a spare 4 row radiator leaking from the bottom tank, it was only a few weeks old when I took it out.
