'53 rad support
Can someone tell me or show me pics of how the rad support, that 'U' shaped piece of steel is supposed to be fastened to the frame or frame cross member please. Can't seem to get my inner fenders on unless that piece is in front of a cross member.
Thanks

There is 2 holes front to back in the center of the cross member, that's where it bolts to.
