Default 69 Camaro Radiator Support - Repros?

Need to get a replacement, since my original is pretty ratty.

There seem to be at least 4 - 5 manufacturers with repro radiator supports out, nowadays. (AMD, Goodmark, Golden Legion, Dynacorn, OER flavor of the week, a bucks-up repro from the heartbeat city folks, and maybe others)

So who has the best fitting / best quality one? I'd like to avoid having to pay out the whazoo for an NOS one but if the repros are still really bad, that's what I'll do...

The AutoRad product is top notch! If interested let me know and I can put a quote together for you.

If i didn't already have a Ron Davis radiator and Intercooler on hand, the Autorad setup would be an option.

*EDIT* I see on Autorad's website that it says "Core support only is also available". I didn't realize that. Justin, you have a PM.

That may be the way to go. Anyone have some photos of what the thing looks like without their radiator mounted in it?

My radiator is definitely not as wide, so I'll have to figure out how the mounting dimensions will work out.

With the AutoRad will you have room on the sides for your Intercooler tubing? Mines a tight fit with a stock core support....just a thought!

Here's a pic for you. I'm not sure how well matched the RD will be given the side close outs, but you could prob make it work. They used to have pricing up on their site and I believe they were $600?

We also make our core support for the original size radiator, which would have a smaller opening.
Contact Driverz for pricing
