'54 Radiator needs a new core. Options?
 

Working on a very original, very complete '54.
The original radiator, while nice on the outside, is shot.
A re-core is going to run me about $600.
Are these available anywhere? DeWitts?

Thanks...

I think you’re on the right trail.

Seems Dewitt's only has for 55 and up, which seems to me is a general problem with these early cars...

I have a shop here locally that can recore one
The "honeycomb" design is unique
600 is about right
I have paid upward as much as 900 to do one.
They are not cheap

Thanks csherman. Looking at the core support ranges, it seems like the '55 radiator will fit and work (much like my earlier gas tank situation) so at least I can give the owner some options. The car is basically a survivor, and he just wants to get it on the road at this point, though he may plan a full restoration in the future.

It's actually called a "V-cell" core and they are available for Maine Radiator 207-784-0189
