Well, The verdict is in. After a nice acid bath, my radiator holds as much water as a screen door!! I'm having the radiator shop put a modern VT style core in it. It's 2-1/2in. thick instead of 3in. like the original, but it will perform just fine.

Total parts and labor cost: $419.35.
Time it will take to order core and install: 5days
Not having to worry about a questionably
repaired radiator:................PRICELESS smile

If it were easy they'd have grade schoolers doing it!
