Front end/clip q's

[PRattenbury]

I'm doing the same thing right now. I was taking the engine out anyway, so I took the front clip off to do it. I knew I had problems like rot below the battery tray and so forth. I had the idea I would go to a junk yard, get a core support, cut the metal from the driver side and weld in a patch with it on the passenger side. But considering all the time and trouble, I decided to order a new core support from LMC truck. It just ain't worth it to fix an old one. It took me all day to get the entire front clip off. But I'm old and slow. Just to give you an idea.
