I've been looking around the internet, and doing a bunch of reading (my head hurts now) A lot of people built a brace for the hood, and fenders, and put the hinge at the core support bushing. that way everything tilts as one piece. and the radiator stays in place, and build some sort of brackets to keep it in place. I still have to do more research.

I found one that the old boy, cut up his core support so it would hold the radiator in place, cut the sides of the core support and hinged it to the piece of the support that holds the radiator. I'm going to e-mail the guy to see if he has better pics.:grd:
