Hi guys!
Do you know if this part can be replaced? This is the part where the front panel bolt on.

Because when I close the hood, we can see that it has been bend 2 inches back maybe

What do you recommend ? Try to bend forward or replace if its posible ?

Thanks

Yes, that is the core support. I think a few vendors sell used ones. Check out the for sale section. Someone on the forum may have one for sale.

Do you have access to saws and welders?

Not I haven't why ? The core support is welded ?

No it’s not it only bolts to the fenders an to the frame now that u have the clip off it’s replaceable

Once all the sheetmetal is out of the way, look for any buckles in the frame.

Hi guys !!
I have a few questions :
1- I would like to put a 4 rows champion radiator. It has 1.50 inch entrance and exit whereas my actual radiator has 1.75inch exit. Do you think I have to change the rubber tube also or will it be ok??
2- my old trans cooler is connected with 5/8 inch tubes. After my trans will be cooled by the champion radiator. But I see only holes in it. What do I need to screw in theses holes to be able to plug my tubes ? A connector ? Do you have a link where I can buy it ?

3- my fan was pulled out of the fan clutch during the accident because the radiator hit the fan. I was able to put the fan back on the clutch. But the cover doesnt want to be put back in place. What can I do ? Should I buy a new fan ? Do you have a link or reference. ( I dont want to go to electric fan)

Thanks a lot
Mickey

Aluminum!
Better than copper, BUT you have a point about salt in the air...
