Nope! I got another call. The $68.00 was to replace the rods (?is that the right word?), and once they tried the core disintegrated. I'm replacing the core now for $265.00, and it has been ordered from Ohio. The original tanks are sound. They're going to paint the whole thing for me and want to know what color, so my original question remains.

Today was finally the day, and I was impressed with the shop. They had a '38 Ford in the bay and were plainly busy and well-organized. No wrecks in the side lot, etc. I left the radiator and by the time I got back to my office, they were calling with an estimate for the re-core, $68.00. It's supposed to be done by Friday. They asked me to bring the fuel tank on my next visit. I was impressed, because the reception I've gotten so far from other vendors is that they'd take the tank only if I begged hard enough. My two favorite mechanics in town recommended the shop in Slidell, and I can now see why. > > QUESTION: I want to paint the radiator tank and the shroud before re-assemble it. I apologize in advance if that information A: is already on the site, or B: was the subject of a recent litany of emails. Regardless, anyone care to give me some pointers? Correct color(s)? Type of paint? Source for paint? > > Thanks very much. > > Patrick Moore > Southeast Louisiana > '58 Southampton 4 door hrdtp > > > > ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- > This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
