I have another video on how to replace the radiator support. I have been asked if a radiator support can be fixed, rather than replaced. The answer is tricky, yes it can and no it can't. If the radiator support is heavily damaged, I highly recommend replacing it. If it is damaged no more than the on in this video, I say give it a try.
One step that often doesn’t get the right amount of attention when doing collision repair, is getting the body panels to line up properly. You can apply a glossy slick paint job but it can be ruined instantly with misaligned gaps. You want to ensure your radiator support is lined up correctly for proper hood, fender and grill alignment.

This radiator support is on a 1994 Toyota DLX Pickup Truck. The damage was not too extensive but I had to use a porta-power to push the apron and part of the radiator support back out. Then it just required some hammer and dolly work on the apron to ensure the fender lined up properly.
When using a porta-power to push out damaged sheet metal. Always ensure that you are pushing against a frame section. Do not attempt to push against other sheet metal, as it will collapse it. Then you will have two issues to fix. In this video, I pushed out the apron and radiator support by pushing against a section of frame. Do not press against steering parts such as, tie rod links, shocks, ball joints or control arms. Use the frame.
If you would like to know how to tackle a paint and body job like this, either as a one time project or if you are considering making auto-body a serious hobby or even considering auto-body a profession. You can now learn this trade and all the secrets of getting an eye popping finish from your own home and not even at a fraction of what a school would run you. I am promoting a course that is great for simple projects to show car finishes. You will be painting like a pro, with this in-depth course.

Any time you are doing a collision repair like this one, always place your body panels on and put just enough bolts to hold them in place. You are looking to ensure that everything will line up properly. The best kind of auto body collision repairs are when the tech takes the time to make sure all gaps line up like factory. Properly aligned and even body lines are what makes a vehicle look good.
