68' Valiant 4 door
also got the US car tools lower core support fitted up. was planning on just capping the stock one with this. after seeing how much tweaking it was going to take to get a snug fit on the whole thing, i decided to cut out the stocker and weld in this one. the thing i don't like about the car tool one is where it sits as it wraps around the sides of the factory core support. the first and third pics shows how low it rides on the sides. everything from the new one to the frame is just the old, thin metal. the new one can be as stiff as a **** but it's still going to hanging from the wimpy stock steel.
decided to add some plates between the car tool support and the frame. i'll weld those all the way around and to the new one.
also started to test fit the champ radiator i had laying around. i was getting ready to tack the new support when i realized i better make sure it won't be sitting too high :BangHead:
back to work tomorow, so i probably won't get this welded up until next week :mad:
