So I guess I go to the radiator repair guy and say "Moss sells a replacement
radiator like this for $320."
"Can you resurrect mine for less than this?"
I can't imagine it can be done for so little. But heck, I'm not a radiator
guy, but I have done my share of striping,
brazing, pounding, and painting.
Anybody out there buy an early radiator from Moss? What is the quality like?
Are they re-manufactured originals?
Frank, yes, I had thought of Bondo. But I also have a little "blue
encrustation"
in one spot on the fins, so full workover/replacement is probably in order, no
matter how I look at it.
Daniel, agreed, the Wizard cooling aluminum radiator is awsome.

When the photo above was taken it was $400. But it's now $535, (see ebay item

and if you recall from our earlier conversation I'm "shooting for" this type of
look:

FWIW I tried to contact a radiator guy in NE Philadelphia today. All I got was
the message machine.
He may have been in mourning, as we sadly lost Harry Kalas today (Iconic
Phillies broadcaster)
Thanks to all in advance...and in retrospect.

Get a radiator shop to take it apart and then you can beat it out. Might as
well rod it out at the same time.
Looks to be too sharp a dent to "pull" out. probably cost the same as the
dent puller kit anyway.
