Default New Radiator!!

Doesn't look like my original will survive unless I dump a ton into it. I found $600 in my ashtray of my truck and bought a new one.......Only thing on this car original will be me at this point.

Who kept the original? Unsolder the tanks and sell out and take the core to a scrap yard for about $1.25 a lb.

A lamp w/the light shining through the core would be neat.
