Just brought this Touring home. Awakened this devil after a twenty year nap. Has cast pistons, original interior, 15 hood. Had to drill drain holes in valve galleys, about a quart of oil was trapped in them. Fan belt was like a potato chip. Would Brassworks rebuild the radiator?

Looks great! Congratulations!

Nice looking car. Thank you for sharing.

Let’s take it down to Club Forest! Good work Steve.

Saw that car on Minneapolis Craigslist.

Unrestored and a great candidate for cleaning and detailing.

The price listed in the ad was very reasonable so you got a heck of a deal, especially if you paid less what he was originally asking.

Others may chime in, but I don't think Brassworks do restoration work. You most likely need an old time radiator shop where they understand how things were done. Anyone who offers a re-coring service should be able to do the job. With such a nice old original car, it is most suited to a rebuild rather than a replacement.

Hope this helps, Allan from down under.

Allan you're right, a shiny new radiator would stick out like a sore thumb. Bad enough a new top is needed to be usable. A friend suggested getting it dirty on a dusty road. Here's a picture of the engine after some check out

Brassworks used to do resto work, but I don't know either anymore. Call em!
