I am restoring an 82 El Camino. I replaced the radiator support cushions. I installed them with the with the big one below the support and the small one above the support. When I installed the fender the support is 2 inches too low to bolt to the fender.
Does anybody have a diagram on how it bolts up? Or does anybody know of a website that would show it?

that is called the radiator support mount as described in other parts of the manual...

the mount for the rest of the car are different than this one... and some spots are different depending upon where they are....



there is more image to the right ... out of view...  be sure to open it in a new window...
one thing...   mount number 2 in this picture... is behind the tire...  not at the radiator support... took me a few minutes of turning pages to figure it out..  this image is in the 2b section. the upper image is in the sheet metal section...
oh.. and by the way.. there have been a lot of rust outs in the frames in that bushing mount area...  so you might want to take advantage of it being apart...

How has that restoration gone?  I'm in the middle of restoring an '82 myself.

It is moving slowly but surely. I have installed a new 350 engine and 350 turbo transmission. Now I am in the process of trying to get the wiring harness and dash back in. How are you doing with yours?
