My radiator for the Straight 8 is really nasty looking...I do want to use it because it has "that look" to it. - Br*** tanks... Can anyone recommend a shop in Austin? It needs rodded out and general overhaul.
I have had nothing but good luck with everything I have ever taken to "Mr. Cool" off of Burnet Road (north). Mike
Mr.Cool is my buddy's next door neighbor.Does pretty good work. His shop is at 915 Sagebrush off of N.Lamar(not Burnet) between Rundberg and Braker. His name is Jay.339-1224
dont forget DNT on St. John's/Lamar (1blk east of Lamar). re-did my original radiator for my '58 and runs cool in texas summers and traffic. great hand-fab'd work. worth every penny. i wont take my radiators anywhere else. call 'em up 512-467-0063.
McCool took care of my DeSoto radiator and also boiled out my gas tank and a couple of bike tanks too.
I recommended DNT for a few folks, but I've seen some of his "custom" radiators and they turned out to be the ugliest things I've ever seen. Seems like a 50/50 chance to get some good work there, I think he's pretty good at recore/rodding out, etc, but building from scratch aint his thang.
