This is how I did the Rampage... the race car is
basically the same way.. the bottom has a U bent up
with rubber in it and you can see the top.. I have to
lean the radiator over to clear the height... the upper
rail on the radiator is reinforced with 1/8" alum
EDIT
Also the top cover holds it it place.. the 1/8" alum
is angle thats mounted on the top of the radiator that
the cover screws into also
