Good question. Probably just to make our lives miserable. It either that or squirrels.

Cool story Happy for you.

Go for it! Enjoy the Model A.

I agree with the above. Doubt you are going to get what you have in it. If you can get it running that would help Just not much demand for these and less than $10K would get you a decent running one. Hope you can sell it without much loss. Put it out there with $4K and see what happens. You can always go down.

I could easily see a shop with knowledged employees doing skilled work that is not easily replaced with another having to charge $120 plus an hour if not more. I run a business that my average employee is making $20/hr and I have to charge $70-$80 an hour to cover my overhead. Granted my business is outdoors so I have to figure in rain days, You figure skilled metal shaper or exert painter is make $40-50 an hour or more.

Did you get my email. Eric Hill

When I disasembled my 1919 Chandler there was a very worn strip all the way across the radiator bottom. Not reusable so I plan on using thick rubber washers with fender washers. Suggestion. One of my studs was very corroded from a radiator leak. I was afraid of breaking the stud so carefully used heat to remove the rusted nut. When I get my radiator back I am thinking I will use antisieze and drill and cotter-pin the studs.

All around this screams scam. Hold onto your money.

Still waiting on my 1919 Radiator. I will let you know how it turns out Your looks great. Eric

Bob, when you are done will you please come do mine. North Georgia is not that far away honest. I have the same rims and size tires and have been fighting them. I know I am doing something stupidly wrong, but cannot get my rims to expand back out to connect the ends. I am going to try the half circle wood bucks that was shown above. Wish the best for you.

Chisels More often than not I am using it to help convince something to budge.

Marietta Radiator Service here near Atlanta. It will look slightly different from the original but for me that's fine as it was 1/3 the cost. I have a Braasworks radiator in my speedster and have never had issues.

Curious to what size rope seal you will be using. I have to repack mine as it is leaking. I have my 1919 radiator being re-cored and repaired costing me $1900 Ouch!

I got the answer to this price dilemma as well as guaranteeing the future of The Fall Meet. All the vendors coming now sell us all your stuff dirt cheap so we buy more and you take home more cash and cover your booth space. Then ten years from now when we buyers all realized we bought way too much stuff because it was cheap will then take it all back to Hershey to sell. You all can thank me later. 😊

Haha! I NEVER factor in the cost of going to Hershey into what i purchase as it would be way ridiculous. But hey its fun and I can always go out and make more money . A friend went with me for the first time this year and asked is I had a list to things I was looking for. Said, nope don't need anything. He asked why i was going. told him you'll see. I live in Georgia and costs me about $900 to go. each year.
