I have a 1950 F3 and the radiator is leaking mostly where the top tank connects to the coils. Seems to be several places along that area. Any recommendations for where I could take it for repair? Preferably somewhere I can drive it. I assume shipping would be difficult & expensive. I am in South Central WI.

Thanks! I actually did have it running and out a little bit before the snow came. Looking forward to more run time in the spring. She's not pretty yet but I'm going for functional so I can drive it. LOL Hood wouldn't stay up. It was bowing out at the sides so I have it at shop getting that taken of and hopefully that will fix the geometry so it works as it should. Have the seat out now and a better one to put in.

Awesome! What's that new fangled electronic device hanging from the inside of the windshield? Thanks for the pics and hopefully your radiator issue gets resolved. I bet GB Sisson gets a kick out of your project!

LOL the new fangled thing is a Garmin that serves as my speedometer. I have a rebuilt speedometer from Papanick here on the Barn that I need to get put in before the next ride.

That's hilarious! Didn't know you could go fast enough to need a speedometer in the old gal. Unless of course your local PD is looking for some paying customers. When I was in High school I used to get a ride to school with a classmate who drove a yellow Pinto. She got a $9 speeding ticket in 1975 for 2 MPH over the speed limit coming down a RR overpass into town. True story!! Local PD in a small town.

LOL, no she certainly isn't set up to break any speed records but she'll cruise along nicely at 60 without any issues.

I took my Radiator to Glenn Ray last night. Looking forward to getting it back. But, it is going to be a while, they are pretty backed up.
