Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

The core suport is now fully welded in. Welding it to the frame rails went pretty good except for a few burns on my arms because I had to lay completley under the car to weld the back sides. I think I need to add a pair of good welding leathers to my X-mas list. Welding the hood latch suport was a little tricky. it was pretty rusty and crusty at the bottom so it just wanted to burn away. I also had to get the hight and angle just right so the hood would line up properly. I ended up notching it at the top and adding a piece of flat steel to reinforce it, I then cut 2 inches off the bottom to get to some weldable steel and added some more flat stock to get it to the tubular support. I finished off by zip-tieing the wireing harness to the support. I test fit the radiator and it fits great.
