Was getting some sandblasted stuff ready to shoot primer on it and I noticed that the used radiator support I bought on last year's road trip didn't have a top crossbar, so dug out the original radiator support and cut the top crossbar off it to weld to the "new" one.
The original was in decent shape, except that It would have reduced my payload by half as someone had reinforced the bottom with a solid chunk of 3/4 inch steel on the outside and another chunk of 1/2 inch on the inside. Just the lower 6" of the old support weighed 18 lb versus 16 lb for the whole new one. eek

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
