Magnum swapping the 72 Scamp!

Did you have to do anything special to get the fan shroud to bolt up to the champion radiator.
I have heard the factory ones do not fit.

Also, that old bug looks clean, people would be asking 2K for that around here, the land of no rust must be nice.

I got the radiator with the shroud mounts on it (forget the number) but for me it wasn’t a perfect fit due to aftermarket ac. If I had factory ac it might have worked perfect. What I did was mount the shroud inside of the brackets vs outside. It worked perfect that way, but it was a pain to get short bolts/ nuts in there if I remember right.

Yeah I’m still blown away by the stuff that’s scrap in LA vs the rust belt. It’s still crazy to me to see cars from the 60s/ 70s in tact at a pick your part. Always fun to go to the yards that have a classics section.
