Radiator support

How difficult is it change the radiator support in a 68? Mine is rusted out and needs replaced. Thought about doing it myself, or should have my local body shop handle the task? Thanks

Do it yourself!!!!!! Just a bunch of bolts and some wiring clips. There is a good chance that some of bolts, like the ones holding the core support to the frame are really rusty and may need to be cut off. I had to use my air tools and torches to get mine off. You might be able to do it all with just a 4-inch right angle electric grinder however. Good Luck

That would be nice, but I'm a long way from Edmonton. Thanks for the offer though.
