Quoted $2,500 to recore and repair radiator in the '48 P15!

About 5 years ago I got my stock radiator rebuilt using a all copper core for my 1948 dodge. Cost about $ 450.00 -
I used leather belts from the Goodwill store, and glue them to the metal straps.

Thanks for the input, as a long time lurker this Web site is the best. I don't really have any instructions to give anybody. This was a little trial and error at first. The gauge can be found at Harbor Freight or machine shop stuff on Ebay. I rotate the gauge to zero and had the brakes adjusted with in a few minutes. Later this week I'll try to post some dimensions.
