Well I was out at the yard again today looking mainly for trim pieces for the Roadrunner project and a few plastic pieces for the malibu. Got all the trim pieces, none of the plastic, but came across some other kick *ss stuff. Found a radiator hold down for a gbody for 20$.
The big thing I found was an aluminum core support out of an 80' 4 door Buick Century Limited with a 3.9L. It was at the top of the stack and as I looked underneath I was surprised to see no rust anywhere on the core support which left me scratching my head. So when I climbed up four cars to get to the stupid thing, there it was polished on top with the raised "A" designation. Paid 80$ for it.
So don't pass up the four doors for those looking for one of these, they may just have it. Anyone know the weight difference between the steel and aluminum supports. This thing is considerably lighter, at least to me.
