Seems like I have seen something like that before

Well I had about 7 hours of free time today so I started on my grill shell. I still have plenty of planishing to do and build the inner lip as well as the lip at the rear of the shell for the hood and sides to sit into. Then I get to have a radiator made to fit, that should be nice and cheap

Default Radiator
A buddy used a universal fit race car radiator from Summit for his Caddy 500 and it's working good. You might look into them and see if there's one that will fit.

I thought about that and maybe for the RPU I might do that but for the others I will send a shell to walker for some custom fit jobs for the others. Since they will all be the same once he has one made I can just call and order for the next one. We will see how it goes.

A bit more progress today around other work. Still need to planish it all out, add the flange at the hood and sides and trim the inner grill flange.
