Its a numbers car but unfortunately at one time the core support was changed before I owned it..So the body (cowl),fender tag, engine, trans, door sticker, dash plate , title, all match..Just not the core...So I opted for a 26 inch for improved cooling since the one on there was cobbed together very badly....

Looking good Jim! Same question as above though, are you going to section in the body #'s on the rad support?

Ahhh, you type fast :D The FY1 RR I sold two years ago was the same way, it took a frontend shot back in the '70's and the shop installed a new support. Good move on the size upgrade :beer:
