Default Looking for Radiator Shop in St Paul, MN

Can someone refer me to a radiator shop in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area that has experience working on older radiators? I'm looking to have some work done on a model A radiator.

Thanks.

I just took an original 28 radiator to J&R Radiator in Chanhsssen to have some work done on the lower outlet that was damaged. They said they work on old car radiators fairly often, but until I get the radiator back, I don't know how good of job they do. They advertise in the Twin Cities Model A Ford Club newsletter.

I get my radiator work done at Ideal Radiator in St. Cloud. The guys there know their stuff.

Jon, Funny you should mention Milltown, as I've been wanting to drive over there to see if this Ford dealership is still around, or at least the building. It's only about 70 miles away, but I still haven't made the trip.

Several years ago they did an excellent job rebuilding the original radiator in our 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. A neighbor who is active in the Twin Cities Model A Ford Club also recommended them for work on Model T and Model A radiators.

Tom, it is not here now, I just asked someone who has been here over 50 years and they never heard of them.
