    looks good ! i have an original hanging on my wall w 7and a half inches taken out of , i could never figure out what kind of radiator would have fit and it had to be on a severely channeled car ! any idea what this ones going on ! did they not put a spreader bar in the middle of the insert to keep the grill bars aligned ?

    Thanks Guys im not sure what radiator he's using i think he had to have one made. I got the insert in peices and choped it all myself and sent it back to have the outer stainless peice put on and the center bar and for some reason they didint put it back in but i realy think it didnt need it the bars dont seam to want to move much.
