Sorry I missed this. I built the radiator core support before I secured the back off the body with the 1 inch square tube. I lifted the back about 2 inches, and since it pivots at the base of the windshield, it opened the gap at the bottom of the fender. So I'll have to cut the mounting ears off the core support and lower them to pinch the gap shut. As of right now, there's a bolt at the front of the fender at the core support and at the top of the fender just holding them in place as a reference. I haven't messed with the hood mounting yet, but it's near the top of the list
