I gotta ask how did you get that frame so squeaky clean before paint? I'm having a heck of a time with engine cleaner, wire brush, and brake cleaner. Can't seem to get it to a point I'd want to lay paint down on top. I'm definitely borrowing your radiator support mount idea. That looks great! Did you just weld it or bolt through the bottom of the frame too?
