Just like the title says, in search of a 1972 Cutlass core support. Located in Terre Haute, IN. Thanks in advance.

 

I've got a couple in Oregon. But shipping has gone crazy in the past few years. Is it possible to repair yours? Shipping a patch panel would be much cheaper if you could repair the one you have. Another idea is to check with Scott, Oldspackrat who also lives in Indiana. Maybe your close enough to drive rather than ship if he has one? John

 

I don’t have one to start with, I have reached out to Scott on here, PM, but I haven’t had any response back.

 

If anyone knows how else to reach him I would love to.

Thank you sir.

 

Have a straight '71 one. But it has the typical rust out from being a neglected car battery maintenance wise. Believe it's also slightly different than the '72 unit.
Anyone reproducing these? Or perhaps in the past?
Compound curves and several layers of metal. Would be expensive to recreate, these might be in the same category as the 75-79 X Body units, in terms of getting a reproduction.

 

The grills fit differently. A 1971 support would need to change over to 71 grills.

Was Scott able to help you? If not, any luck finding one nearby? I do have a 1972 in pretty good shape. If your totally striking out I can get a shipping estimate. John

 

Often it seems the only serious damage is under the battery. If someone had the time, and metal working skills, hammering out patch panels would probably find demand. Not enough for a big company but if someone were doing it as a side gig in their spare time I bet they could sell several dozen anyway.

 

Scott has one for a 72, we are currently working out the details. Thank you for everyone’s response.
