Just got the original 2998874 radiator back from Finger's Radiator in North Brunswick NJ. They did a great job and even got the dent out of the top tank. It was recored as a three-core instead of the original two-core style. Took about a week and cost $450. They also did the radiator on my Grampa's Lincoln a couple years ago for the same price. It's a good, old fashioned shop that has been in business for 92 years. https://www.fingersradiator.com/

Fingers had painted it a flat-ish black radiator paint but I recoated the top in a light dusting of Rustoleum semi-gloss black.

I tried installing the "best quality reproduction" antenna yesterday...yeah right. It jiggles all over the place when fully tightened. The mast stud jiggles in the mast and the threads in the base have way too much play. When fully installed you get a 1" wobble at the top of the antenna. It would rattle like hell if you drove this way. Of course the seller gives the usual "I've sold thousands of them and never got a complaint".

Well, I'd be happy to give you thousands of complaints now to make up for it.

Team Cuda strives to maintain the same level of sarcastic professionalism (or is that professional sarcasticalism?) regardless of geographic location.

Yes, we are a one stop shop! The next A12Pilot Project will more than likely be a Pontiac, which my team mate has extensive esperience in doing junk to.

The plan will be to buy it, paint it, ship it to the North East division of Southern Classic Restoration, Engineering, and Wrecksurrection, or “S.C.R.E.W.”, then have Steve finish it, then ship it back to me to enjoy and then sell. All in all, we should be in at about six time what the car would be worth and be so far upside down that walking into a mini skirt Party at a roller rink would leave nothing to the imagination.

Remember our bumper stick that comes free with each restoration; “This car is SCREWED.”

Cheers
Dave

“... we are a one stop shop!”
