Pete Phillips Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This came out of my '49 Super parts car. It looked so good and had no stains to indicate any leaks, so I took it to the radiator shop last week, had it cleaned and rodded out, tested for leaks, and it is ready to go. $375 plus shipping and shipping is liable to be around $100 given the weight. Or, go get a new core made, and it is liable to cost you close to $1,000, so this is a relative bargain.

Buickborn Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Quote If I may make a slightly different but still favorable point about this radiator over a recore: the last two re-core jobs I had done (for a '54 76R and a '30 44 roadster -- by two different, well-established shops) didn't cost even close to $1000.00. But, in both cases, the frames had been tweaked just enough that I nearly ruptured myself trying to get all the mounting holes to line up. I shudder to think of the problems that would be presented by a re-pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I agree with Pete, this is a bargain. A re-core is going to cost well over $900 if not more and you may have shipping on top of that depending on your location and where you send it out. I know because I paid near $900 some years ago.

lancemb Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I just had a 57 radiator recored for $750, but this is still half the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
