any more, a guy needing a radiator re-cored, might just as well use glen ray.
the only shop around here is a place that works primarily on semi's and heavy equipment, and prices accordingly, often way more than having glen ray work done.
plus, it only cares about function, so slobbery solder joints are the norm, and tanks are not handled with any kind of care. often coming back with more dents than they started with.
for a ton of years, there was a shop just a couple houses up the side street from me, that everyone [and i mean everyone !] took their radiators to because he knew the trade well, and it showed in his work.
when he retired, his one boy took over the shop, moved it out of town, and it slowly died and closed up because the work just wasn't the same.
the only options around now for anyone wanting a radiator in these parts, is glen ray, or buy a reproduction or cross flow replacement.
