Powell Radiator. Steve Powell is world renown doing accurate, authentic, high $$ radiators for rare high $$ cars, like your Pebble Beach crowd. He also does the same accurate detail work on Muscle cars. He advertises in Hemmings. And reputable. He is a hour North of me. You can send it to him and I will oversee the work personally. And, I own factory 4 cores and know what is correct...but so does Steve. I have every bit of confidence in his work. He taught me how to repair brass floats. He re-tinned my Camaro gas tank. The man is good!

any local radiator shop should be able to do it Rich. I always use good local people for alternators, starters and radiators.

Second on Eastwood Radiator Paint. No primer needed, just a couple even coats of Eastwood.
