core support help
Does anyone know if they make a patch panel for the radiator core support? I need to patch the small shelf like area just below the battery tray.

Re: core support help
If this is the area you are talking about, I don't know of anyone who makes one, but I just did one on mine from some flat sheet metal and welded it in.

Re: core support help
I bought the whole core support from Matts Bowties for like 130.00. Very nice piece, don't regret spending the extra money.

Re: core support help
Cool I didn't even know that they made a patch panel. I don't know why they wouldn't since this is a rust prone area

Re: core support help
Mine was rusted out also, but I'm a tight wad, so I patched mine.
