Ames Performance Core Support
 
Ok, it’s 2024 and Ames lists this core support in the catalog and website but no indication if it needs modification. Usually they have notes for items. Further no side view photo to illustrate if it has the 9-10 degree angle like OEM. Has anyone used one recently and can advise if this fits a 69?

Guessing it's the same messed up part being sold for 20 years. If it was a "new improved" part it probably wouldn't be getting discounted.

Shame, what a pain to fix the way they are.

I know if I had it to do all over again I would have used the re-pop part as a donor for patches to repair the original.

Thanks - I guess I’ll call Ames tomorrow morning and ask to be sure - damn shame they don’t say one way or the other

This is my current situation- the driver’s side is significantly worse. I may attempt to fix it with my extremely limited welding skills.

Yours looks pretty close to the way mine did.

Follow on from this post until I sprayed the core support with epoxy primer.

That's fixable for sure, I've seen way worse come back to life. How's the top?

Thanks, Roger!

Dataway- from what I can see the top looks fine but I don’t have fenders off yet

Seems like guys have been saying the top shelf is based off 1968 design
