Looking for a shop in the Midwest that deals with antique radiators

Hi everyone, we are a restoration shop that deals with mostly brass era cars and we have a few radiators that need to be recore, new brass shells made and or repaired. Is there anyone or a shop that deals with brass era style radiators in the Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Iowa preferably)? Thanks!

Vince,

I used this place Alen Auto to fix/repair the radiator for my 1931.
Repair was about 25 years ago and still holding strong. I don't recall what I paid back then but they recore it with the original honeycomb and tanks.

I also had them resort/recore the radiator for my 1969 GTO about 2 years ago. Not cheap but it is the original radiator.

Wow I just checked out your website you do some amazing work there.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the info! Yeah we had Jim stop by from Lake Zurich Radiator and explained the process of soldering in these cores and they can be a pain to do. He said he can do it, but he's booked until December. I will reach out to A-Len. Thanks for checking out our website and also for the kind words.

Vince
