Default 1970 GTO Core support filler

Hey guys, my 1970 Gto is missing the core support filler. This is the part that mounts to the top of the support by the radiator.

ThePartsPlace sells a new one but I would never believe the original is abs plastic.

Is the original metal? If so, does anybody have 1 for sale?

Thanks. PLEASE NO SCAMS!

Ditto. If I were home I'd take a picture. They like to warp and get a little wavy over time.

Default '70 Original vs. Parts place

A little work with a Dremel tool, and you can make it a decent copy.

I think Ames just introduced a better reproduction one recently…. not overly expensive
