After some head scratching I came up with a plan to contend with the rotted out core support bottoms. Using some sheet metal supports I removed from the fold down rear seat area I made up a couple of filler panels for where I had cut out the rot. I also removed a strip from the drives side of the radiator opening so it would conform to my new 28"” wide aluminum radiator (Speedway). The stock opening was offset to the passenger’s side just like the motors are. After welding it all together, grinding, sanding, priming, and seam sealing I painted the core support area a semi gloss black.
