Part II - How to build this core support
Hood pins/hood support
I installed the hood pins on my hood where I wanted them, then took a small piece of tubing and welded a nut to it (maybe 3-4" long at this point - leave extra length). This created the locking surface for the lock-nut that sets the hood pin height. I then took another section of hoop and made both ends of the hoops hit the top spreader bar running from the fender to the core support main hoop, with the middle of the hoop running directly under where the hood pins come down. (you can line it up by pulling the hood pins and looking down through the hole. I supported the hood with 2x4's to set the proper gap between the hood and the grille while I was welding this in.
Core support fore/aft struts.
You want to brace the core support from moving fore/aft, but your mounts wouldn't need to be as complex as mine if you're just bolting into the body in the stock location rather than dzus. Make some plates that mount on the side faces of the body under the rear most part of the fender. I did both inside and outside, then just weld in a long tube from the mounts at the front of the fender back to the plate at the body. You could use part of a bend to move the tubing under your fender like I did. I then added a few angled braces to avoid having any stressed 90 degree angles anywhere - I'll be shaking the snot out of this thing.
Separating into pieces
The whole main structure should be together at this point, and you could remove the grille, but leave the fenders bolted in, this will give you access to the front of the core support. Hang your radiator off the main hoop, add tabs/mounts for overflow bottle, etc (depending on where you're mounting them.)
To make the core support and fender pieces separate, I made pairs of tabs that bolted together with 2 bolts (I used stainless). I then (cutting 1 fender strut at a time) sectioned out 1/4" from the fender strut length and inserted a pair of the 1/8" thick premade tabs. You can see where I marked the cuts in the pics in the hood pin section, then what the after was with the tabs installed at both locations below. Rotate the tabs in whatever direction hides them best.
Hood struts
I did hood struts rather than have a prop rod. I used the regular Bronco kit from JBG, but made my own lower mounts. With the whole core support made and incorporating the hood mounts, I could have my hood on with my fenders out for easy access. One side of the mount is 1/8" the other 1/4". You really need the 1/4" to give it enough structure to not bend. (learned that the hard way, this is mount try #2)
