Default Removable radiator support? ('bird owners please!)

Has any body done a stand up radiator that has a removable support? Thinking I'm going to Fab something up, but looking for some ideas and pictures of how you all have done it before. Below are some great Camaro examples, any 'bird owners with similar that work with our headlights?

Thanks!

Jon

Yep, I'm sure it would look better if it were all round tubing but I had square so I used it.

AAAAnnnddd just when I thought I had mine all planned out.... I like that setup. Will it work with the stock hood and latch?

The important part is make sure the upper bumper support where it meets the hood is perfect or your hood and bumper won't line up.

Thanks guys. It's nice to pull the front off and have easy access to service anything or pull the engine straight out. My2kZ yours looks good too!

Yep that's why I did it. Now when I need to work on it I just unbolt it and remove the radiator, fans, and intercooler all in one piece and I can walk right up to the motor to work on it.
