Default Help lowering radiator....

I need to lower my radiator 2-2.5" for a new project. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to lower it and parts needed?

you are going to have to lay it down which entails cutting off the bottom radiator supports and reattaching them (spot weld) about an inch to 2 inches behind the little drain holes in the frame, by moving bottom forward you lower the top, Andy at A&A convette does this procedure maybe he will email you some pics, I am laying mine down in a couple of weeks when I do some additional mods---Good Luck---email me and I will try to return some photos of the procedure that may help I'm not very good at this but I think I can send them over, ===Bill
