Hey ya'll,
I am looking at this dart whilst the front suspension is out, engine out. And with all the engine swapping, removale I plan on doing. I am wanting to make the radiator support removable. Would make it a hell of a lot easier to put the engine in damn near straight into the bay instead of having to come over the radiator support.

As the car sits, the fenders, gril, bumper, hood are off..its just the engine bay metal.
I am thinking I can probably just drill the spot welds out and get it off, and then maybe weld some metal on the back to make a sort of flange to bolt up to, or hell there may even be enough metal left where the spot welds are to make a bolt/nut area.

Anyone done this before? or any suggestions?
 
Id just take the part that goes over the top of the radiator hole. Not sure how to describe it other than that? Maybe the middle part of the core support up top? That way it just unbolts without having to pull the fenders and bumper
