I saved my pennies and had the radiator re-cored at a local radiator place that will soon be going out of business after some 70+ years.

They did a very nice job. Took it apart, media blasted the frame and the tanks and soldered in a new core. It looks neat and clean, and in matt black it should shed heat very well. I also installed a new lower radiator hose and wire hose clamps. Not very exciting, but it will be nice to know that the coolant system is A1, and I hope everything is leak free when pressure tested. (They pressure tested the radiator, but I will have to check my hose connections when the car gets up to temp)
