Recored means all the guts and fins were replaced. I was in a time crunch otherwise I would have had the shop add another row.

Put in the condenser fans and STARTED buffing out the age off the 1998 50th paint. "MJ" will have new make-up. Also Treating the leather again to get it soft before the redye of the seats and such.

Recoring costs $350. I think you're thinking of rodding. There's no point to an acid bath when all the guts are being replaced anyways. $80 would even cover materials.

Replaced the condenser fans and straightened out the bent over condenser fins. The A/C head pressure loves the air flow. Off to the beach.
