Hello,

I am in the process of repairing the radiator support of my '70 Challenger. As you can see, someone had some fun with a hole saw and an angle grinder back in the day. In addition to welding up each individual hole, I also need to add a bit of material on the lip of the support where they ground it off. I have taken a few pictures of what I am working with.

It looks like the outer edge is about 1.2 inches, and then it widens out a bit and narrows back down along the top of it. Can anyone verify my measurements?

Thanks!

"someone had some fun with a hole saw."

Biggest understatement of the day, IMO grin


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

As you can tell by the pictures of one that is not cut up the width across is not uniform , it's a part that is stamped from a flat sheet and the edge width can vary ...

Have fun filling those , another member had to go thru that in the rockers, under the sill plates , and other places on his 69 A12 Road Runner ...


running up my post count some more .
