1800 Radiators 1800 1971

A few years ago IPD used to market a 3-core radiator for the 1800. The only one they have now is the 2-core repro of the original. Same with Swedish Treasures on the East Coast. Does anyone know if the three core is still available? Living in the desert my 1800 will overheat in the summer when you get stuck in traffic which happens regularly. I'd also appreciate hearing from anyone who has used/is using Red Line Water Wetter or Valvoline's Zerex Racing Super Coolant. Both claim to lower water temp 20-30 degrees. I read one comparison on the web that said both were good but that the Red Line product smelled "...something of rotten worms mixed with bubble solution". Last but not least are fans mounted in front of radiator. What's your experience with them? All advice will be appreciated. Going to work in the early AM is OK (it's only 90 degrees), but coming home is boil time unless I wait until after 7 PM when the traffic lets up. Even then the 1800 will boil after she's shut down in the garage.
