A local man in my small town was recommended to me by a serious classic car collector to fix my Daytona radiator. My experience has been to take them to the radiator shop and have it boiled out. He said this man rods them. He removes the top or bottom and pushes small rods up the pipes and cleans them out. When I went to him (retired by doing this on the side [he's 87]. He said he used to own a radiator shop and boiled them but it destroyed the radiator so he went to rodding them. Sounds reasonable to me. He said it would take five hours to do mine. To be continued . . . .
