You might want to give DNT radiators a try at 705 W. St. Johns Av. 467-0063. They recored the radiator on my '73 and claimed that they could make it look like a stock unit. I don't know how "stock" it appears, but it has worked just fine for the last 30K miles. No problems at all. They were cheaper than others I called also and gave me a warranty. I was satisfied with their work and would use them again if the need arose.
Good luck.

I would buy a new rad from Auto Zone then a re-core any day. A new rad will outlast any re-core and it will cool much better. Nothing beats New.

Re: Austin TX area Radiator Shop? (73-454)
Thanks guys. I do not need a recore, I have the radiator out of my 90 while replacing a water pump. Thought would take it to a "good" radiator to get it cleaned out and see if they have something to get all the little bugs of of the fins. Kind of a check up and cleaning.
I had previously heard of a shop on St Johns but did not know the name.
Thanks.
