1965 Cutlass -- BIG PARTS NEEDED --
I need to find a complete radiator core support and both front inner fenders for a 1965 Olds Cutlass. Once I tore my car down I found that my core support is all cobbled together with pieces of scrap sheet metal, and both inner fenders look like crap!

You might have to repair your radiator support they are usually rotted from the battery's leaking acids
The wheel wells are steel and usually clean up nicely with some tlc , but if you do find done check with greyhound for shipping it takes a bit of effort from both party's, but very reasonably priced

The radiator support has already been patched together with pieces of sheet metal. It looks like they had to add the entire bottom portion. Also the passenger side where it meets the inner fender is where the rest of the rust out is. Its not on the side where the battery was. Somewhere down the line some type of green filler was smeared over the rust through area and it was scuffed and painted black to hopefully disappear from view. I can probably attempt the same type of cover up job, just maybe a little better. I really didn't notice the radiator support issue until I took the whole thing out.
What really gets me down is that I gave these same parts (and many others) to a young man that bought my last 1965 Olds Cutlass. I offered, and he took everything I had laying around. Which included a radiator support and inner fenders from a 65 Cutlass body that I drug home from Desert Valley Auto! They were out in my storage shed and I thought I would never need them once I sold the car. He loaded more stuff into that car and the back of his pickup than I ever figured he could! His name was Josh and he lives in Iowa if he happens to be out there and sees this post.

It's nice to live in a part of the world where they don't salt the roads
I've got the parts too but as Napoleon said, if you can find decent parts at what you consider a reasonable price closer that could save $$ on shipping.
