Try a local radiator shop. Had mine done by a local shop a while back. They reused my original tanks and upper an lower cross bars. Guy said you can't get any more original than that. Not cheap, over $500.00... Getting harder to find shops that do recores.

My F-I-L does them and you get a 2 year warranty - his thinking is that if it doesn't last at minimum 10 years he did something wrong. He is a little far from you though and is going to retire very soon, but he says that all the time.

I wish I would have video taped some of his work, but when I had time to do so cellphones didnt have cameras or texting for that matter, very interesting time lapsed.

Here in Iowa I've had Radiator Masters in St. Olaf, IA re-core the original radiators for my 69 Grand Prix and 72 Trans Am and was quite pleased with the results. I'd be very hesitant to ship a radiator these days Bill unless you can make it FedEx proof as njsteve likes to say. My GP had an aftermarket 4 core in it when I bought and when I had the previous owner ship the original to me the core and drivers side inlet were beat up so bad I had to get another tank for it before I could get it re-cored.
