'34 Radiator Repair

[rbone]

Working through a radiator issue - coming back from a friend's last weekend, the generator bolt came loose and the fan hit the radiator. It cut through at least 3 tubes and damaged 2 others. Two questions: - do you think it can be repaired? If not, suggestions on a complete rebuild? I talked to Lee at BrassWorks in CA today and he certainly sounded like he knew his stuff.

I am in Dallas, TX and would prefer someone local, but am willing to ship for sure.

I would also be interested in buying a used radiator if you have one laying around.

It can be re-cored for sure. Might even be a candidate for for specific repair of the damaged tubes. Looks like the comb is in rough shape though. I would look for a shop that is familiar with old fords. Just did this myself recently, well worth the money. The EPA has driven many radiator shops out of business with all the new regulations. Might take some effort to find one. Good luck!
