When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

I'll just keep the 22" opening then. No need to cut her up if there's not that great of a benefit.

Probably OK. I had my radiator for a few years before I went to paint.
This is what I did in 2005, figured it is easier to show you the "during" modifications because it illustrates the material removed - the tape is there to give me better guide marks for cutting:

In 2014 when we were painting and modifying Sam (fabricator) cleaned up the edges and gave it a rolled lip when he was making the lower radiator support and doing the other work in the area:
