Details on the "tilting core support lid" Our own little design that solves several issues in regards to hiding stuff.

the hinge allows the part to lift as it opens thus preventing any unwanted paint removal.

we built an exact "buck" of the custom aluminum radiator to allow us to build the core support and orient specific parts. I have in the past bumped into the new radiators on other builds and left witness marks to my clumsiness. The plywood mock up doesn't mind me welding or grinding right next to it.
