You're only going to do this once in your life. The high cost of a proper re-core will be long forgotten when a nice looking, original radiator is in place doing its job. Bite the bullet.

Does your radiator have the inverted U shape in the lower tank to allow a crank handle to pass through in case your battery dies? New ones don't. It's a cool feature.
