Yes! Finally got the new radiator core support.... it came by truck freight yesterday. It is coated in black primer, but is relatively light for its size. It cost $120 shipped to my door, and it is genuine GM.

that really doesn't seem like such a bad price, I would've thought they were more.

 

I should've just bought a new one instead of trying in vain to sandblast mine :lol:

My core support was fine until the idiot tow truck driver hooked to it to pull the car onto a flatbed. The center got pulled down and now the cooling fans are unmounted at the bottom.

that is one hell of a chore to change them, theres about 6 million spot welds that have to be drilled out, just changing the lower part of mine was a easy 2-3 day task counting time to pull it from the parts car.

Really? Damn, I didn't think there where that many spot welds.

mine is bent in a few spots at the bottom from a tow truck as well, but i beat it back with a hammer :lol: its a bit bent, but its getting the job done still

 

Unless mine was replaced (which I doubt the catalyst sticker is still there), than my spot welds look like piss, especially when you look at my old Z34.

Just FYI, they make a special drill bit to drill out spot welds, just incase anyone was planning on replacing there own. Lemme see if I can find it.

 

EDIT: The drill bit is made by Blair. It is a spot weld drill bit.
