anyone have any good pictures of how they mount their radiator? I am allowed to relocate mine but has to stay in front of the motor, I am thinking of putting the air conditioning condenser in the core support and bolting it in good for support there and mounting the radiator just behind it on the frame, so basically moving it back about an inch. i'm just curious how you guys all like to mount them and pictures would be great..

I'm building a 79 Thunderbird, but I'm curious to see the many different ways.

Ratchet straps have worked the best for us

What do you hook the straps to? ok here is the deal... take old lap belts and weld the 2 pieces together that bolt to the floor... Then when you want to tighten it up pull tight and depends if you are going up to tighten or down... Up pull it side to side or down wrap the excess around hand pull out and push down with your knee...

This is how we've always done it; Bolt middle seat belts (non ratchet ones) to the top and bottom of the radiator support and tighten them down behind it. Condenser I run in the stock position if it's there or just ignore it if it's not.
