Eric,
The last 4 core 442 radiator we had done was $450 last year.
Let me know how you make out.

Just got the car back from WTony. I will get more photos when I have time over the weekend. Now it is really starting to take shape. Will be working on the doors next.

Mac,
No time table for now. I will paint it Provincial White again. The car should have a red interior but back in the 1980’s I had a complete nice blue interior so I will keep the inside blue. For now I am going to pull the motor/trans and clean and paint under the hood. I would like to get it running and driving this summer. I am working on the doors and glass now. Had to replace both door because of rust. We will see how it goes.
Thanks for the post!!

OK! Sandy is gone!!!
My Insurance Co totaled the car. I was able to keep the car by buying it back. I was happy with the settlement from Hagerty and they were very nice to work with! WTony had some time so the car is in the body shop. The roof is repaired and stripped, and primed. I have a few photos to post more to come.

Mac,
Thanks for the support. We got the power on late Saturday! Almost two weeks! We are far better off than some and thankful for that. We have Hagerty Classic Insurance and placed a claim with them. I will let everyone know how I make out. I also took a good look at the photo of the roof. It looks much worse than what I first thought. I hope it can be repaired.
Be well,
Ken

We are about 1 mile from the beach. Still no power and it looks like another week. Damage does not look too bad but a bad location.

Been working on the 69 W30 project this summer. Just a little late was going to put the 63 Jetfire in the garage when Sandy came along. We are way better off than some but this is a real bummer. Dent in the roof at the windshield. Not sure how bad but bent the frame. I will post more tonight.
