1956 radiator reassembly

[Garry Barnes]

Guys. Stupid question but one that I have spent way too much time trying to figure out. I am trying to put my raditor back in my '56 and the lower neck stops at the stabilizer bar running across not allowing the radiator to drop down fully into the support. It was taken out after the body came off, so i was not there when this happened. i have backed out all of the radiator support nuts to give me as much wiggle room as possible and it still will not move past the bar. I need to find about 1/4 inch of space. What is the secret? Thanks.

Garry,
The scret is to unbolt the "U" hanger on one wie3 of the stabilizer bar and force it frontward a little. May have to unbolt both sides and move the bar forward ( not hard at aall). You'll get enough clearance. Regards,

Jim, no wonder I couldn't figure it out.....I always try to make it harder than it should be. Thanks Jim.
