Was over at tim's gearage today.. and i got to watch him work again . Got the bracket fabbed up.. its in the second picture.. the black thing.. since my lower core support is so nasty we're gonna cut the lower support out and put a peice of angle iron in and then bolt that bracket to the angle iron and it will hold the rad in place......

oh and.. do you guys think this will be a problem ?

Uh...not if you don't. New way of lowering E.T. by shaving weight? Should be good for a couple of tenths.

It's been said old Fords go faster because they keep getting lighter.

If that were my car in the picture it would be a problem.

Getting the radiator mounted is the first step. Then we can go about putting some metal back where it belongs. The PO had cut the top and bottom edges off the upper core support. In a half assed attempt to move the padiator forward to fit the V8. I plan to put it back somehow, and straighten and replace the lower support as well. As soon as I can get the radaitor mounted.

I'm trying to uncobble the cobble job of the PO.

That and try to replace some of the metal that used to be there, and has returned to it's original state iron oxide.

But on a brighter side at least I'm getting paid by the hour!
