Along with one of these US Tools lower radiator brace stiffener.
Mine is a little beat up and that will cover it nicely and help the car to be stronger.

I got one of them too DaytonaKid . . . I'm not sure that it's suppose to "cover" the existing one, or replace it ? ?
I've been looking at it and I think I'm going to cut it up and piece it together to get the best meld of the two of them . . . I'll be curious to see what you think and how you go about replacing the core support. I'm going to have to figure out how to add the tab back on that holds the center support . . . DUH ! ! !
I know what your saying, I said I'd be driving mine this last summer now I'm pushing to even have it done for next summer. Oh well, you'll have a car worth waiting on. Nice work "I like the stiffener".I have looked back a little. It is amazing that in my 1st post I mentioned I was about ready for sand-blasting and a year later I still have not done the major blasting. Just areas as needed.
I have been fortunate that everything was just rusty enough for me to be able to fix. If it had been a little worse I don't think I would have been up to it. I see some of the other guys work that had to go farther than mine and I think "Man, I'm glad mine wasn't that bad".
I still have a ways to go. Really looking forward to getting the blasting and priming/sealing done, so I can start bolting it back together. I need to fix those A frame mounts next, I ordered them last night. Along with one of these US Tools lower radiator brace stiffener.

Sorry but I guess it will be a while before I can install the stiffener because the rotis mount is in the way. It looks like it will work nice.
That is a pretty cool idea about cutting matching holes. Is that going to be able to be seen on chargers? I don't remember and my valance was pretty well shot. About that hole/bracket, those links I posted a few post back show how to do that/everything.
Mine has the same holes but I can't remember what goes there either. I will research this and get back to you. I might suggest to drill holes in the stiffener to be able to get to them just in case we figure out something bolts on there.
Why didn't you make them?????
