69 body drop
Trying to figure out if radiator should be in the core support before dropping body on frame for my 69 BB . I'm not sure that the radiator will clear the fan shroud that should be sitting on the frame tight to the front of the motor ( I think). I know that the shroud is real hard to get in with the body on the frame. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Re: 69 body drop
From experience of removing my 70's fan shroud and radiator myself since the car was new I recommend placing a floor jack under the right front control arm and relieving pressure from the upper control arm. Remove the upper control arm nuts after removing the alignment shims and rapping them in tape and note where they came from.
The control arm has free movement with the lower control arm raised by the floor jack. The upper control arm can be moved away from the mounting location and this allows easier removal/installation of the fan shroud.
I would wait until the body is reinstalled before radiator installation. -
