Nope! I got another call. The $68.00 was to replace the rods (?is that
the
right word?), and once they tried the core disintegrated. I'm replacing
the
core now for $265.00, and it has been ordered from Ohio. The original
tanks
are sound. They're going to paint the whole thing for me and want to know
what color, so my original question remains.
Thanks
Patrick

Subject: Re: IML: IML Paint the Radiator, '58 Southampton
Radiator paint question...
I've had the radiator pulled from my '58 for about 2 months and have been
riding it around in the trunk of my daily driver, this in the hopes of
happening through a neighboring town (Slidell, Louisiana) to drop it off
for
a test and anticiapted recore. Today was finally the day, and I was
impressed with the shop. They had a '38 Ford in the bay and were plainly
busy and well-organized. No wrecks in the side lot, etc. I left the
radiator and by the time I got back to my office, they were calling with
an
estimate for the re-core, $68.00. It's supposed to be done by Friday.
They
asked me to bring the fuel tank on my next visit. I was impressed,
because
the reception I've gotten so far from other vendors is that they'd take
the
tank only if I begged hard enough. My two favorite mechanics in town
recommended the shop in Slidell, and I can now see why.
QUESTION: I want to paint the radiator tank and the shroud before
re-assemble it. I apologize in advance if that information A: is already
on
the site, or B: was the subject of a recent litany of emails. Regardless,
anyone care to give me some pointers? Correct color(s)? Type of paint?
Source for paint?
Thanks very much.
