    If I was to put in a V8, that's the way I'd want things to look! Awesome job!

    Is that a custom radiator support? It all looks great.

    thanks for the compliment. This has been an 8 year build. When I bought it the old girl had a Dodge 225 slant 6 Tourqfliete transmission, Ford steering column and box. The inner fenders and radiator core support were hacked all up.
    So yes a new radiator core support from brothers trucking was installed. Yes it needed modification to make the hood close.
    The radiator shroud that came with the core support did not fit the aluminum radiator I bought that was supposed to fit this the core support. I had to fabricate new mounts for the radiator to core support and the upper shroud ears you are seeing in the picture.
