Got my 1962 Polara running but now some problems

[Ernie Rogers]

The radiator is now leaking, any suggestions on getting it rebuilt?
And the Auto transmission is leaking from both front and rear seals and ideas on a way to fix without pulling out and putting in new seals. I'm sure all problems stemming from being driven very little for the last 45 years. I believe car only has 34000 miles in total.
Thanks

What engine does it have, so as to know what radiator you need ? A lot of good used items here on the site...

Will you be performing the work or will you take it to a shop?

Well...honestly, different advice on whether or not you're flippin' or keepin'....
If it's a keeper, have the transmission gone over and resealed.
The radiator can be repaired/boiled out/serviced by any decent radiator shop.

For the trans you could try the cheap way out by using a sealant. Napa sell a product called "Seal Lube". It does not change viscosity and can be used in almost any thing with oil in it; example , Engine, trans, rear, power steering, etc. I have seen it work wonders. Good luck! By the way, if I missed you, belated welcome aboard! Car looks great!

Is trans fluid coming from the bell housing or maybe it's the throttle shaft seal? The shifter cable end can leak also along with the park cable end. They mainly just require a new O-ring unless the cable housing is cracked. There's a fix for that also.

Here's the throttle shaft seal replacement...
