RJansen658 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 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. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 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 Quote
RJansen658 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Posted October 8, 2006 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. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 ah shit that sucks. are those welded in? i'm assuming they are but i never really looked. Quote
RJansen658 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Posted October 8, 2006 yes, but not like, seam welded.... they are spot welded in with a few small dots.... Either way I am going to pay a unibody guy to do it. Quote
White93z34 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 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. Quote

Really? Damn, I didn't think there where that many spot welds. Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 mine is bent in a few spots at the bottom from a tow truck as well, but i beat it back with a hammer its a bit bent, but its getting the job done still Quote

slick Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 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. Quote
luminal67 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 do you know if there are any other replacement body parts available? like a rocker or trunk panel????? Quote
