I received my Glen-Ray restored 974 radiator for my '70 340 'cuda today. It turned out great! Bob's work was outstanding.
The previous owners somehow managed to dent the top tank in numerous places. The radiator cap mount was bent down and not square with the tank. The bottom tank also had a pretty good dent. Bob managed to work all the imperfections out and the radiator looks brand new. Bob also recored the unit as the old core was suspect. His work on the top tank was amazing. Here's some before and after pictures of Bob's work.

That is a number ONE restoration on a radiator if I ever saw one. That is NICE!

All most too nice to put coolant in. LOL

Glen Ray re-cored mine too, came out looking perfect. Can't say enough good things about his work or his customer service. Top notch all the way...in my opinion he is not only the best choice for radiator work, he is the only choice based on his work and the way he does business...

Anyone want to comment on the cost? I have a Round top tank with no numbers and I want to have it recored, and use it for my 68 superstock project. I am hoping the cost is much lower than the cost of a repro rad.

He is the BEST !!!! I just bought an impossible hard to find 065 round top used radiator for my BB 69 GTS Dart from him and he recored it and sent it to me and it looked just like the one pictured all for $995.00.

If you take a radiator to a local shop for just a new core you are looking at $350 and up and it will never look like what Bob does.

There are guys wanting $650 and up just for a used radiator that needs everything. I did not bat an eye on his prices.

If you want quality do not mess around call BOB!!!!!!!

Bob had helped me out in the past on some smaller stuff for my old car's Radiator. He told me to give him a nominal fee the next time I saw him at a show. The next show I couldn't make so sent the money along with a friend to pay him and Bob reluctantly took it. What a great guy!!

I have my original Radiator to send in to him for the Satellite in the next week or so.

They do spectacular work, well worth the money. I have a 340 Duster radiator that they should be finishing soon. They are a real asset to the hobby.

He did mine for the R/T. Looks fantastic. Still in the box. But if it performs as good as it looks. I'll be a very happy camper.

Bob did my original for the Bird and it looks outstanding. It was less than a new repop and its the original.

My '68 Coronet and '74 Hang 10 Dart have Glen-Ray radiators in them. One was new and the other was restored. It is the ONLY place I will go for my old Mopars. Bob helped me out a lot with both cars.

Had a radiator recored at a radiator specialty shop in Nj for $380, it came back with crushed reservoirs due to poor clamping practices, core twisted in frame and such a sloppy solder job that they even dropped some down the filler opening and plugged some tubes and no paint. Called up Glen Ray, explained situation and asked for quote to fix it. No sob story, was ready to pay whatever at that point..He said he already had a radiator correct for my car and if I wanted he would swap with me plus a nominal amount. When I got it in the mail it looked just like one of his new radiators, impeccable craftsmanship, perfect quality paint and mounting hardware. First time I ever felt like I didn't pay enough for a mopar related part/service. Had them recore my heater core and bought a hemi trans cooler from them and was equally happy. Top notch in quality and customer service..
