What I am seeing is as low as $700 to as high as $2500. I guess I will tell the lady that $1000 is fine if she wants to pay it herself. If not and we have to go the insurance route then it will be the actual cost, plus shipping plus
labor and possible a rental car until it is done as this is my daily driver now as I have the 1947 Desoto off line. What a PITA. James From: John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
yes — what is the number that is “reasonable” . we need to find that fair guy and reward him . I hear good things about a guy in Tennessee , — my go to guy in Mn ( spectacular work) has gone way up . I am Still there , but getting crazy . To me 2k up is getting crazy , 3500
up is extortion but unless we share numbers no one knows anything . win win here if we handle this right . James , my first drive around town in my 300C convert , a core plug blew out of head spewing coolant snd steam , about 5000 feet from my home on way back , first drive . A friend
in town saw me , spun around U turn “ love your car “ etc I am in a big big hurry have ~ 5 minutes to really big trouble . I turn corner onto my street fast , Edison co and cops blocking road(!) bucket truck Had to stop quickly , friend piles into new bumper waving hello . Cop puts hand up yelling about going fast , steam pouring out . Cant make this stress level up in a very bad dream . In 40 years never saw road blocked they came in , during
the ten minutes i was gone . Followed by big bump from the rear. Did not buy lottery ticket that day , scratched C bumper —brand new plating gorgeous - still on the car today , over $ cost for new one / plate another ( looking for core and
plate ) auugh observations : Be sure guy doing your motor knows how to set the old Chrysler disc type core plugs , cannot be gentle. Experts are NOT on that . Several times now . PIA , today’s experts never
saw one till you came , despite acting cool about it . Might put “ how to do that right ” on our site , or machine block / heads for brass cup type 2) keep well intentioned friends off your tail at all times
