Anyone out there have pictures they can post or ideas on a removable radiator support for my 67 project PLEASE? I'm pulling radiator forward an inch or so for more pulley clearance and will probably replace the sheetmetal there and make something removeable in front of the radiator. THANKS!!!!

Sorry, my car is at the shop, so I can't get a photo. Basically all I did is cut the mounting ears off of the support. Then I made some brackets and mounted them in front of the support. Mount the rad to the brackets with some short plastic bushings. That will give you close to an inch to move the rad almost against the front frame rail. It gave me enough room to run 10 rib pulleys for my supercharger with a puller electric fan.

sounds like we did similar set ups. I have a BT carbed D1-X on a 460. Having a tough time picturing your set up though. Did you attach the radiator to the (detachable) radiator support and are you using stock grille and trim?

have you checked out the new aluminum radiator support from Martz chassis? would some dzus fasteners be strong enough?

neat stuff. Thanks for the tip, though I'd make my own. I'll stare at it this weekend and figure it out.
