The radiator shell came out fantastic from the light sand blasting to get all the flaking nickle off and it doesn't have any dents, warps, pitting, etc. The radiator is getting replaced - the radiator and shell came off an old 1929 Baldwin combine along with the extra engine I have. Dad said they often had a nickle plated model A radiator shell, which surprised me but that is what must have saved it from getting bent up.
Those combines were plentiful back home and you used to still see them in pastures until the high steel scrap prices back in the 2000's.
I will probably paint the shell and put it on, dad thinks it is in such good shape, he suggested I should maybe have it nickle plated again.
Anyway it was a nice surprise and I will take any luck when it comes.
