Extra-Long Galvanized Steel Radiator Cover Top Panel

Description :
This elongated galvanized steel panel was salvaged from a vintage radiator cover and retains its authentic industrial character. Measuring 45 ¾" × 8 ¼" × 1 ¼", it features a flat top surface with hand-formed lip edges for mounting or reinforcement. The original galvanized zinc finish has aged into a subtle gray patina with visible texture and mild oxidation. The underside shows typical rust and wear from decades of heat exposure, giving it a genuine salvaged look. Ideal for replacement use, industrial art projects, or as a narrow shelf or accent piece.
