This project is getting crazy especially when it comes to fitting the front clip onto the Camaro subframe. The radiator core support was cut to fit around the steering box. The splash pan had to be cut out and then I trimmed for it to fit around the rails in tack weld it back together has a lot of rust issues but when I disassemble the pieces and prep for paint I can address those cancer issues. This is one of those projects where you just got to keep figuring s*** out. Thanks for watching

No doubt this is a challenge but it will be a remarkable ride when it is on the road 46.

I don't care if is getting crazy, keep struggling along with this car. You are providing us with a lot of entertainment. This is good stuff and you will end up with an awesome hotrod.

The radiator fits great. I just had to trim a little material from the mounting brace to clear the steering box.

I can definitely sympathize with your troubles getting stuff to fit. I went through the same deal, mounting the front clip to the Camaro subframe on my '56 Ford. Its coming along great...keep plugging along!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Yeah, I meant to mention the front end won't want to fit around the sub frame.

What are you using for a radiator?

 

[46carnut]

What's up Sam. It's been a while. I am using the stock radiator for fitment. I am going to have it redone.

 

[46carnut]

Starting the Pick-A-Part the cancer and line the fender. I have started to cut rust and reshape lots of cancer front Clips rest but I'm going to have to make it work

That 1/4 shot makes it look a mile long...[cl[P...looking good!

 

[Old Iron]

SF, if you think it looks long, try parallel parking that land yacht in the new car spaces [ddd

That's right [cl

I've been lurking.... I used a 66 stock Mustang radiator. Fit between the rails, but isn't enough to keep a 350 cool after the outside temp gets over 80 degrees. Need to figure something else out but just haven't had the time.
