The radiator is being redone as we speak. The tech called a few days ago. The radiator is solid but has a major blockage in the uper chamber. He is working on it all by hand. He does NOT want to place it in the vibrating tank. He is too concerned it might damage the core. After working on it for a while he has the flow moving but not to the extent it needs to be.

When the car was found it had been sitting since the 1950’s. The was no radiator cap in place. Im sure additional dirt and crud settled into the tank. He did notice there were no mites or rodants in the tank as he began cleaning it out. Over the years (25) he indicated that he has found, toys, rodants, earings and a small wrench in radiators he has restored.

The winter grille was removed before it was sent out. After lubing it up and working it back and forth,it moves back and forth with the ease of one finger.
