Radiator Support/Radiator

So I know I needed to get radiator in so I could keep engine as far forward as possible, so I ordered an aluminum radiator from ebay for a 36 chevy.  It was pretty cheap, it was taller and not as wide as the original one and took some modifying to fit, however as i've learned already from this car, no one makes aftermarket 1936 pontiac stuff, and since the chevys were pretty close and everyone makes parts for them, i'll be modifying most things I buy to fit..   I had to cut the bended piece of steel that goes along the bottom of the support and make a new one that gave me more room for the taller radiator to sit, I also bolted on small brackets below the fenders and welded small brackets on the upper portion that wouldn't be hidden by the radiator.



I then sandblasted the outside and inside of the support, and gave the inside a coat of primer and shiny black paint so i could mount the radiator inside it and hopefully won't have to take it out for a while...
