Default Radiator Support

These pics are of the radiator support. Like the inner fenderwells, the support is all scratch-built.

I wanted to keep the basic shape of the original support, but I wanted Ironworks to put the radiator inside the top lip. As you can see, the aluminum radiator is fairly thick, so the top of the support had to be made just as thick.



Since the new radiator is wider (side-to-side) than a stock radiator, the "hump" on top of the support was fabricated wider as well.



This shot shows the top of the support intersecting the fenderwell after the initial fitting of the core support in the car (no headlight buckets yet).
