[DeTomaso] radiator place says they can't make or get a new core for stock radiator

I know brass and copper radiators are going the way of the dodo bird, but I thought a radiator core could be made any shape or size that was needed.


My radiator was recored in the early 1980's and did fine re cooling, but finally developed a leak in the core.  I took it to what used to be a great radiator shop that has since become mainly a general car repair place and they said they can't fix it.


Anyone have their stock radiator recored lately?  


I know a lot of people go with aluminum rads, but I'd rather keep the stock "frame" for appearances sake
