Greetings again,
 
I'm still thinking about ways to make a low frontal area radiator, and in looking at custom radiators, oil coolers, etc, I ran across this "Cool Tube" stuff:
 
 
It's an aluminum tubing with fins, and it's made for use as an oil to air heat exchanger.   I can't help but wonder just how well this stuff would work for oil, or even water.  Unfortunately, I'm so intrigued that I may have to order a few feet to play with.  I expect it would be heavy, but it seems like it would work reasonably well. 
 
What do you think?  Is there a chance this stuff would work as a radiator?
