Peeling and Dented

Has anybody bought a new radiator from Dearborn Classics? My buddy bought one from them for his 65 Galaxy. It came in with the paint peeling off in about two dozen spots and a dent in the fins about the size of a walnut. He paid about $450 for this thing and he is not happy. Is this the normal product they supply?

I bought a new radiator for my 54 a few years ago and it came in looking great. Who would think that a new purchase would require repainting and repair? Jag

Thats one I would send back - If it's new, it isn't of good quality - most likely inferior materials and manf.

Maybe they are now Dearborn Classic Chinese Parts.
