Default radiatior work

Is there any good radiator shop in the Stockton Ca. or Modesto Ca. area that can re core a 1929 model a radiator. And if I do re core what type of core would be best used. It still has the original core but leak like a sieve.

There was a good shop, I believe on Wilson in Stockton. Take the radiator and the radiator cover, (chrome piece so it will all go back together correctly. Brentwood Bob had a few done and was well pleased. Drop him a note for the address and name.

California Radiator is out of business.
Don't have an alternative as of today.

Basically you have two choices, stock, heavy duty. Is the car to be judged?

Forget the stock round tube then and go with a 3 row flat tube.
