Rust repair help!

I recently picked up a '70 Cutlass Supreme. The previous owner left a battery in the car for several years, and it leaked. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a replacement lower rad support available, as well as the filler piece that the headlight buckets seem to mount to? Or do I need to start looking for a donor car? There is also some frame damage where baterry acid leaked, but I think that is repairable with some good steel stock. Gotta love these older cars!

I'd check with John(2blu442) on that rad support....he's in Oregon, so you might be able to save some shipping!

Keep looking. I found a real nice complete radiator support on ebay a couple of years ago for 80.00. Met the guy half way and no shipping. No need to buy a whole parts car. I am sure there are alot of them in the dry states, however I am in Michigan.

I wonder if a radiator support from a Chevelle or Skylark would fit?

It has to be Olds, and for the original poster, it has to be the 1970-only core support piece as well. 69, 71 and 72 won't work.
