Following up on my Bugeye radiator follies...
As I mentioned a little over a week ago - One of the large muffler and radiator shops had shipped my radiator out for repairs. They came back with an estimate of over 500$. I was stunned (esp. because the usual suspects sell reconditioned radiators for about 250/300$).
So I took BillM's advice and went to one of his recommended radiator shops this morning (South End).
I was immediately introduced to the man who would do the work. He walked me through a BA-JILLION options, including updating the radiator to accept the most common caps, different drain tap options, etc. Showed me all the evidence of work needing to be done, showed me the materials he would use to repair the radiator, showed me the dents and bends that he would take out, and made this a personalized, very satisfying experience. And all for about the price of a Moss reconditioned radiator and still barely more than HALF the price of the chain operation.
Thanks, BillM, for the recommendation.
