    Hello to all, first post on this site. I'm building an Oakland (made before Pontiac) with a 401 4 speed and 9'' rear. Almost on the road and in need of a radiator made for the car. I tried to have the original reworked but no luck. Anyone know of a good place in the lower Michigan area.:confused: Any leeds greatly appreciated. Thanks from the frozen wasteland, leading the nation in unemployment, uptight state that is Michigan. 27oakland

    Superior Radiator in Mt. Clemens, north of Detroit is probably the best in the metro Detroit area.

    Bit of a drive,100 mi, but there's a good custom radiator builder in Whitehall. Last I knew an aluminum radiator from him was around $400. You can take your old radiator or custom dimensions and he'll build from that. If your interested I'll PM you his phone #

  13. Well I'm a bit late on this one, but welcome Steve! When you and I first talked 2 years ago I think I mentioned this place, glad you made it.

    Hope things go well with the Oakland and look forward to some progress pics.
