OK.
Too many small leaks in my radiator to try over the counter stop leak additives. I am looking for some recommendations of repair shops near Romeo, MI to fix my radiator.

I was thinking of North American Radiator (Shelby Twp) or Avon Radiator in Rochester Hills. Any thoughts?

THANKS

Let me know what you find out...
I'm in Romeo and have leaks in the radiator,
I've used superior in Mt Clemens, but they always try to push an aluminum one first.

Thanks for the suggestions and PMs.

I found Master Radiator in Waterford,MI. They do a lot of commercial radiator rebuilding up to 4x4 ft cores. The owner who is going to do the rebuild the radiator, was very knowledgible of classic car radiators and their construction.
After trying to resolder holes for two days, he suggested a new core. Folks in the UK are building a new copper core. Should be back by March

While waiting for the radiator rebuild, I decided to pull the water pump and have it completely rebuilt by Arthur Gould Rebuilders. I am also pulling the water jacket and replacing the gasket on that as well.

Excellent,
I used Master about 15 yrs ago, didn't know they were still there.
I'll keep an eye out for your car around town. I'll be in a 56 400
