The problem that I have encountered with re-coring shops is that they don't want to deal with the "S" pattern of the tanks. Apparently this is a more difficult pattern to weld (solder) and most will leave it to the few old timers left in the business. My last one was sent to an 82 year old guy that still could do it in his garage. They charged me 700.00 with the new core instalation. I found out who actually did the work after they explained to me what they had to do, so I went to meet the guy. They told me he likes gin. That was the best afternoon of gin and tonics that I will ever have in my life. Man did I learn alot that day, and it wasn't all about radiators! God bless our sacred Old Timers that keep it real...here's to you Anthony!
