engine compartment pics
I'm trying to decipher the correct/incorrect part for a '73 radiator support bracket. Looks like I got the wrong part from a forum supplier. Any engine compartment pics +/- 73 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John.

great - thanks!
looks like you did some nice purty-up in there. that's what I hope to do some day...baby steps.
that radiator support bracket is what is interesting. I don't know if my '73 should have one bracket in the center to the fan shroud, or 2 brackets, one on each L & R side.
Any '73ers with opinions or pics?

Pardon all the grunge and grim, this was when It was first unloaded off the car hauler when purchased. It is a stock 73 and has one bracket in the center of the fan shroud.
This is a picture of an unmolested 73 with 5,700 miles on it.

Thanks hwcoop - this looks amazing just like my car! Even the non-stock dark green paint. Except my hood heat-sheild blanket isn't in as good a shape as yours.
I'd like to get mine half as clean as that second pic you sent.
I'm exchanging emails with the vendor, trying to decipher what parts I have, and what I really need.

the front end was repainted in 90 but from the doors back it's 33 year old paint.The second pic was a 73 that was listed on ebay with 5,800 original miles, a great time capsule for checking how these were assembled

Cool - didn't know there was a blue-green original color. Mine has been re-painted something very similar, but originally was the ugly green used. I don't have access to the codes at the moment. I like the color yours/mine is now, nice.
