    Anyone know any good little shops in so-cal?

    I guess Ill probably have to make a new bottom tank correct?

    Im gonna run a '21 stud flatty, and I think ill take my chances having it un pressurized.

    any help? thanks.

    :confused:

    You could contact Hoffman Radiator in Orange, Ca. (714) 538-5514
    Don builds/repairs radiators for hot rods all the time.

    He's worked on mine in the p.u., as well as a couple of other radiators for other A's with
    4 bangers I've had.

    Hey OLLIN,

    Did you ever get your Model A radiator converted?
    I'm in the same boat, and I'm also in the LA/Orange County Area.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Oh Mattson is back on track?
    I heard they closed their doors two years ago(or was it last year?)

    They had sold the old shop and started doing only custom work. Something happened with the buyer and they apparently got the whole thing back again. Either way Jack Mattson never stopped doing radiators.
     
  9. I like Crandall's in Lawndale (310) 676-2936 but it has been a long time since I needed anything.
