Need to put insurance on the Chevelle so I can drive it this year. Not sure what to put on it for value? Not sure if the insurance company will want it appraised? That will be funny when they look at it and probably go really. But please chime in on what kind of number you think.

Any radiator shops left in the metro?

The Harrison radiator in the 442 is in good shape but pretty gunky inside, so I'd like to have it boiled out and repainted. Are there any rad shops left in the metro anymore? Seems like rad's have become a disposable item these days.
