    I've built and worked on 6 33-34 Fords and all have Walker, Johnson radiators, with no issues. I highly recommend Johnson radiator. Ron R

    The Walker legacy lives on, and is in great hands. A smart move by Alan.

    Having purchased a couple Walkers it’s great to know Johnson is picking up where they left off and even expanding the line. Thank you for sharing the video!

    Received the new radiator for my roadster a couple of weeks ago. I think the quality of the Johnson rad. is at least as good as the Walker in my 40... maybe better.

    Its nice to know that there is a valid attempt, by the crew at Johnson's, to make the final product, as best as it can be!
    There is a lot of attention to detail in their manufacturing process!
    Very cool video.

    Quality live on, clearly you certainly get what you pay for, with no regrets and not being intimidated by a temperature gauge.

    I definitely like my Walkers and sure good to see that someone has taken over carrying the torch of good parts. I'm impressed. Thanks for posting the video.

    That's a very informative video. Knowing how particular Alan is, I'm not at all surprised how close he keeps his tolerances. Those radiators look like a work of art. Happy to see they are continuing the legacy established by Vern Walker and even expanding on it. I think I need to pony up and start saving for one for my 39. :)

    That's a hell of a process! You don't mind paying for quality like that!

    The Johnson radiator that I bought for my '31 Model A is stored in the box it came in, but I did unpack it just to have a look and make sure it wasn't damaged in shipping. Beautiful radiator, and watching the video confirms that there is quality throughout.

    I saw some early rads at Shades of the past in 21. They were just as nice as the Walker that I had in my coupe. Snowman ⛄️

    Great video showing their process, I was fortunate to get one of the last Walkers for my project. Won't hesitate buying from Johnson in future. Great way to support our hobby!
