Dan why not spend $299 and get a completeley new radiator? I have heard of
guys that get a recore only to have the reused tanks start leaking a year
later, or worse fail. I mean to say that the rad is 30 years old, you
recore and the tanks are still 30 years old. If the rad started failing its
a good chance that the rest of the rad's metal is thin due to corrosion and
could go at any time. Call it cheap insurance but another $49 to have brand
new on something as important as a rad seems prudent, especially after
towing bills come in  :)

BTW you know where to get a new radiator right? I got them for $299 and 3
core high efficiencies for $335
