Comp with powerful water cooling

Here is a sketch I drew of a computer case with a car radiator for water cooling my idea is to get a car radiator from a junk yard cutting it down to make it smaller than hook it up to a regular watercooling system. Would this work?
thanks

I dont see your sketch(Try to post the sketch again), but you'll need to chase down some fairly old cars for their radiators. Most of the newer radiators are made of aluminum, which is hard to work with, youll be pretty much stuck with the size of the radiator whatever the size is.

Also you will have problems with your connections(each and every connection is a leak waiting to happen). Ideal size for cooling inside the computer is 1/4 - 3/8 tubing youll have to neck up/down to be able to fit the 1.5" to 2" inlet and outlet to the radiator.

IMO, you would be better off buying new, or off Ebay(as long as YOUR CAREFUL) you can get deals like this one(at 2.76 right now, dont know what itll finish as):

A heater core is a smaller radiator. That will probably be more your style.

I tried putting the sketch up but it was way to big. my idea was just to take off the front of the computer case and replace it with a car radiator. That way it would not need lots of large fans and woudn't be nosy and I could overclock.
