Did you look in Hemmings for a shop near you? I would say a good local rad shop should be able to do that job.

I just got my new Hemmings today and I don't see any radiator resto shops listed in it. I will try some local shops but I'm afraid they might be a production shop and lack the quality I'm looking for. The Harrison radiator is for a very special car that has had a frame off resto. The correct radiator was missing but has a new correct style one but without the Harrison name. Thanks for your help.

Dana,
I've been going to ask you. I knew you'd know. I'll call you to get the phone# and chit/chat about some other stuff.
Thanks,

Davey.. if I knew you needed a shop to do the resto on it, I would have done it it all, painted and delivered for a nominal fee

Seriously, be careful.. I have yet to see a shop do much more than recore correctly, painting to show standards is something, I trust to only myself...
