What is the status of the Coronet front clip? Although, I'm not sure yet if I would need it, but thanks for the pics! There are a couple factors that come to mind here: the car is going to be a driver so a slight wrinkle/wave here or there may be okay, so long as it's not in a super-visible place. I do also want to retain the VIN stamped rad support if possible. That being said, if I tear everything down and determine a new front clip is necessary, I will do it.
:cheers:

Front box is removed (see pics below).

No dents, no rust, SOLID!!

Rad support is included and has the VIN stamping.

Also if we were to come to a deal, I can deliver it to you much cheaper than if you were to outsource it. Unless you were wanting to pick it up yourself in Las Vegas, NV.

Radiator support adjustment (pulling the rad support away from the firewall - in the direction of the front of the car - to match the measurement from Dan's Charger and the diagram.

By the way, don't judge me for the technique, just trying to get creative in my SF bay area parking garage!!
Love it! That's totally something I would do in the same situation. ;D 

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I am genuinely shocked and completely impressed you're tackling this in an underground shared garage!

Thanks, I was squinting to see the original measurements. :cheers: Much clearer.
