I'm in the process of fitting a new radiator and whilst it and the battery was out was wondering if a mobile welder/fabricator would be interested in doing a bit of work? It's on a 67 Chevy C10
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your replies chaps. I ended up with a recommendation that came though Derek Penfold. Paul from Bright Sparks mobile welding came out to have a look this afternoon and just got stuck in (very old skool).
My Radiator core, inner fender and including my battery tray was completely rotted out probably due to battery acid dripping down at some point in its life. That left one end of the radiator support flapping around a little and was unacceptable when installing my new rad.
All the rotten material was cut away and new metal has replaced it all. Not quite to factory standard but it's all strong again and will last a good few years. Just have to prime and paint everything up now.
