yeah I missed that, you mentioned something about replacing the radiator support with one from the junkyard, but then you painted the engine bay i did not see a new radiator support welded to the engine bay, figured that would've made sense to weld that on before re-painting the engine bay since you have to sand off the paint you laid to re weld that support on, and now risk weld scars/spatter getting on the paint you laid down in there already.

I may be completely off, but how was that approached?

The lower portion of the radiator support was welded into place, but not the upper... the upper portion got completely cut off.
