Well, after lurking in the background for a while I thought I would join the forum and say hi to those who have commented about Honeycomb radiators recently. I am the Australian manufacturer of Honeycomb Cores mentioned on occassions.
Yes, there is a 23 minute film showing me making a 1930 Buick core from flat 6 thou copper to the fitted core, it can be found at........ Fuel Tank and Radiator Service - Making a core
Yes, these radiators are expensive, they always have been. Why was it Henry Ford never used honeycomb cores in any of his cars, they were expensive in 1910 just as they are now!
Watch the video and you will come to understand what's involved in making a core which will last 70 to 80 years. Unlike the original my cores are cleanable, the tanks can be removed and the core cleaned should it be required in 30 years, you don't throw it away like the original.
There is an online Price Estimator where you can price your own core online, don't forget the price is in Australian dollars plus freight.

Enjoy the video and drop me a line sometime to say hi. The history of the Honeycomb machinery is on my home page near the 1926 Packard.
Greg.
