rad support in today
Looks awesome. Its not new, but it its tons better then my rusted one...This has no rust...WOW! :D
Hopefully tomarrow will be warm enough so that I can paint drop it in there, I'll also paint the block, and the rest of the firewall. Hopefully tomarrow or saturday I can drop in the rad, attach the hoses, put in the condesor, attach those hoses, button it all up, top off the fluids, and can be driving it by sunday.

Re: rad support in today (daniel77350)
Are you able to put it back this way? I know I was able to do it this way on my '80's core support(was able to bring shroud back to water pump, tipped radiator back and then up and out)but I know on my '75 it looks extremely tight in there. The shroud is right next to the upper A arm shafts and cannot "pull" it back far enough to pull up and out the radiator. Many people have discussed on the forum here to put the core support/radiator/shroud in as a unit? Wondered if you need to do this on a '77? :confused:

Re: rad support in today (Paul Borowski)
they came out seperatly...I don't see why they couldn't go in seperately....
But then again my fan and fan shroud are out...The only thing that'll be a PITA is the condesor...I had a helluva time getting to the lines...(my A/C system is not charged, so I wasn't worried about it exploding...in fact there is no fluid in it at all).
I will probably have to put the condesor in there first, hook up the lines, support it somehow, then put in the shroud, mount the condeser to the shroud, then drop in the radiator...no biggie. I might get it done tomarrow if I decide to postpone painting the block until saturday...
