Schirmer does all the de-denting and finishing on the repaired
Hemi radiator tanks. He has a variety of small wooden blocks that
he uses to tap out the dents on the tanks (left). Before primer and
paint, the tanks are also smoothed over with an electric band file.Ray Schirmer Sr. still does plenty of hands-on work on collector car
radiators. Here he solders a 1931 Buick tank.
