1928-1929 Ford Restored Radiator
28-29 restoration - send yours in
In a restoration we use all re-useable parts from your original radiator (from whichever of the four factories Ford sourced from) and our new core. They take 10-13 hours on average + core construction time.
- round tube core with faux seam tubes
- Seamed on tubes are positioned randomly to mimic OE placement
- 6 copper fin per inch
- hand sheared fins with the scallop to correspond to the sidewall relief
- original top and bottom tank
- flat rivets in the OE stay rod bracket for the production year
- return lock fold header
- electric wire tabs soldered to lower tank
- hood hinge holder
- test fit to shell when provided (or we use our OE shells)
Made in the USA
We make to order. Please allow adequate time for us to build.
Build time estimates [Feb 2025]
Brass/Black Model Ts
Our longstanding foundry (supplier) closed and all production was shifted to a neighboring foundry. Apparently many of the closed foundry's workers were ineligible for rehire by the new foundry due to more aggressive immigration enforcement and the union has no employees to provide. As of 2-20-25, we should receive castings in March 2025 and can resume production then.
In the interim, we have been working with our one-off foundry to have pattern boxes made and these are trickling in in smaller batches and we will produce what we can.

We appreciate your patience as we continue to recruit and train new fabricators and manage the labor shortfall our country has been experiencing.
