There is still one of those type radiator shops in the town where I live.  
People send him radiators from all over the country.  The name of the shop is 
West York Radiator in York, PA.  The owner is Harry, I think.  Give him a call 
first to make sure he can do what you want. He also does gas tanks, repair and 
coating.
