Honeycomb Radiator Core
This radiator situation in the '26 Coupe has bedeviled me for several
years. I found NO local shop that could work with these old cores or recore
them for anything like a reasonable price. I bought a used radiator from the
east coast, it turned out to be bad, and that was the last straw. I had it
recored with a 40s style ribbon semi-honeycomb. The whole fiasco set me back
$900 by the time I was done. Now I will have a nice new radiator when the new
motor finally arrives.
The very week I picked up the recored radiator from the shop, I stumbled
across a place called "The Filling Station" in a search for stuff for my '51
Chevy Truck project. They claim to be able to supply a new honeycomb core in
any dimensions required for a reasonable price. I could just scream! To view

The '29 has a modern radiator that I am less than happy with so maybe
when the '26 is done we will give "The Filling Station" cores a try.
