I had my engine out and suspension removed before supporting the inner fenders with upright and flat 2x4s. I then removed the two fender bolts closest to the core support and made a rod with a washer welded to each end and tied both fenders together. I then removed the core support, rad mount and all associated sheet metal. After that I had full access to the front cross member. After many careful measurements double and triple checked, I cut that sucker out and welded the new one in. With the supports I had put in, putting it all back together was pretty straight forward. The washers even "fit" the old marks they made on the sheet metal all those years ago when it was assembled. I will see how well I did when I take it to the alignment shop.
