No, the core support is the entire nose of the car, that attaches to the radiator...

found a body shop to put it on a frame rack for $800 (estimated 12hr job)
this still seems like a rip off for just yanking a piece of metal 2-3 inches. is this right?

If it was running I would first try the tree technique or even the portapower before blowing $800... maybe the shop its at will let me pay a storage fee and do it myself.

Still have to take a closer look at the mechanical work after the frame is back.. but my guess is that it will be pretty straight forward.

is this what the core support looks like? it's $100 new.

thoughts? opinions?
thanks
