Instead of spending more money it would make sense to go with the offered replacement radiator.
For what its worth, I got my radiator from what is now DeLoreango, I believe at one time Rob told me he could get the same radiator for me but by then I didn't know this and it was too late. It is unpainted and has been trouble free.

I read the thread where you took out the intake cause I *was* about to change out the water pump hoses in mine this weekend, but I think I'll save that until the next meetup now. I did change the radiator entirely by myself though. The only time you would need 2 people is when you get the condenser/radiator/fan shroud loose. It is MUCH simpler considering there are far less things that can mechanically go wrong. Completely understand not wanting to do this in a cold garage though.
Well, after all that, when I took it to the shop the mechanic pressure tested it and said it was just a loose clamp on the upper hose after all. Still not sure how it was always dry up by that hose when I'd see it dripping, unless the leak actually wasn't actively occurring when I saw the drips and so the top part had already dried out. I swear I'd already tried tightening that clamp, but I guess I didn't put enough elbow grease into it.

Well that is one of the easiest fixes ever. Glad it wasn’t anything worse!
