Best 69 Camaro radiator support
 
Looking for one and just wondering which one would be good quality and good fit.

First, let me say, I have never tried to fit an aftermarket radiator support.
Secondly, I don't BELIEVE there is a "spot on" aftermarket one available.
Again, my opinion is not based on personal experience, but on hearing guys gripe about the fit.

You might try posting on Camaros.net in the paint and body section. Couple of fellows there that have lots of experience with both used GM and aftermarket sheet metal.

BTW, my Dad was born in the Goffstown / Pinardville area and grew up in Manchester. I have been there many times.

Mike T on this site has one for sale. I have done business with Mike and he is a stand up guy.

Look here: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthrea...supp#Post615874

I am sure he would be glad to send you a picture.

Mine is OK except for a dent in the top, looks like a balancer or flywheel dent. Sounds like the best thing would be to media blast and fix this one seeing it is still in great shape. Thanks for the replies. Lynn I am 55 wonder if I knew your dad back then.

Probably not. I am 62. Dad hasn't lived in NH since WWII (the big one).

I would definitely fix the one you have. I had to fix a couple dents in my original support and even weld in a patch panel where some goober cut a hole with a torch.
