Yes, now that he's off the crack he knows that $750 once (if you look back you'll see that's what I wrote I spent) with only one removal and installation beats spending $300 four or five times, with that many removals and installations aggravations to boot.. up

I already tried the best local shop here in town. Said they can't get cores for my old stuff anymore. That's why it's Glen Ray or no way. I'd love to have a local shop that can do a QUALITY recore. Your last recore job was 20 years ago? My local shop probably could have done it 20 years ago. What was your hourly pay 20 years ago? Times have changed a bit shocked

Larry .... doing a radiator recore is a craft and a skill ... jsta like doing fiberglass work !

But it’s not rocket science or brain surgery!

Many of the shops that do that recore work have closed. The closest place here that I’ve been told is nearly 50 miles away. Most of the stuff is aluminum cores and plastic.

I realize that costs have gone up in 20 years ... but from 130 to 750 ?

Again .... if you think that’s a necessary expense in your automotive hobby .., go for it !
