I believe the core support to be new, came with the car but the previous owner had done some work on it and it looked too new. It has new GM fenders and an aftermarket hood. The hood line does not fit the fender line really well, 1/4 in high in the middle but I can live with it if I can get the front down. I put on new hinges and the back of the hood fits nicely to the fender, the hood has to be adjusted forward of the front of the fender about and 1/8 in to get it to not hit the cowl. again I can live with that too if I could just get it down to match the fender line.
