My story is similar and I feel your pain. I took a beautiful radiator with perfect top tank to the "recommended" local shop. The requested work was to remove the top tank and install a brass brace from front to rear of the tank. I explained the radiator was for a 1940 model car and much care was needed to preserve it. When I got it back I refused to pay. But that did not make me feel any better or straighten my damaged tank.

And don't even get me started on our "education" system.
