Title: Radiator Support
Post by: bcstingray on October 31, 2015, 04:19:23 pm

Can the radiator support and grill be removed without removing the fenders and inner fender wells? I'm getting ready to swap motors and I'm limited to space on where I'll be doing it. My thinking was to remove the front and not have to lift the motor and trans that high (will be removing as one piece).

I finally got around in taking out the radiator support. I found that it was rusted up at the inner fender where it mounts to the support under the battery tray. Will now need to find a radiator support and battery tray.

I might just weld a strip of metal where it's rusted out.

The Narwhal was decommissioned in 1999. I didn't get to go due to work at that time.
