: The radiator shell on my 1930 Murray Sedan has a few dings and
: small tears, but otherwise is in good shape.Does anyone
: have experience making their own repairs of this sort?I am
: primarily interested in knowing if the shell can be welded.
: If so, what alloy of Mig wire and type of gas are most appropriate?
: Finally, does anyone know of a company or individual that
: restores the shells?Is there a ballpark figure for
: the cost of this type of work?Thanks for any help.Doug Handran
Doug,
About a year ago I checked out a company in Wisconsin or Minn. that advertized in Hemmings under Services/stainless steel (I don't have Hemmings handy right now to look the name up).I called and asked the same question that you have.They told me that the average job leaves their place at about $250.Price depends on damage.If you ship your shell to them they will give a free estimate.
