Radman in the news!




It reads: Bob Donaldson of Radiators R Us, 815 S. 21st, was finishing a radiator core rebuild for a customer in Iola Tuesday. The radiator weighs more than 900 pounds and measures 45 inches wide by 50 inches tall. The copper-brass core is 3 inches thick and holds 25 gallons of antifreeze. Donaldson said it takes about 15 hours to rebuild a project of this size. Nelson Quarries is using the radiator for a diesel generator.

Kansas City Chiefs

Here it is parked out back of his shop next to his old work truck.





Can you believe the Kansas City Chiefs drove all the way to Parsons KS just to get their radiator fixed? It was still cheaper than buying a new one and apparently Bobs fame has been traveling far and wide!

Radiator Man




I met Bob. He lives in Kansas, a 3 hour trip each weekend. He has his own business, of which he wears several hats. I made a sign to post in Chicks Diner in Parsons KS for his radiator business, "Radiators R us."

What you can't see is the sign is actually 3D!
