nah...our guy is a 3rd generation Rad man.His family have rubbed elbows with Glen Rays family over the years.He is retired and just does specialty stuff now. He would never put out anything but the very best.
Couple of years ago he was finishing a hand made/recored honeycomb rad for an antique fire truck in England.
I really want to put the correct rad in my new project and was hoping you guys would say you all had excellent results with re cored stock rads!
