super1hawk Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I bought a radiator support and it has very different mounting brackets and bracket locations than my 1963. There is a cutout on the new one also. I am wondering what Avanti it does fit. I placed the parts next to each other to see the differences. I am thinking of cutting the new one and placing parts on the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Interesting!....My guess is that you have found a possibly NOS radiator support frame originally made for a Chevrolet framed '87-'91 Avanti..........As the main body of the new support frame would be the same as the '63 radiator support frame, I'd trim off all the un-needed brackets from the new frame, then weld on the L&R support brackets from the '63 frame. Don't be concerned with the cutouts in the new radiator support,.....excepting from an authenticity standpoint, they make no difference.
