I'm looking to mount my replicaparts radiator panel that I've had forever, FMan ordered 5 of them a while back and got them powdercoated - it's a nice part!

my issue/challenge is that I don't have just a flat radiator, i have the A/C condenser in front which pushes outward by 1.75-2" higher, there is bulb seal so any cuts will be 'hidden' but IMHO that's a lot to cut out

if I had perfect metal skills, an air nibbler, or some other fabrication wizardry, I could just trim that excess off so the part lies flush like it's supposed to

asking if "this is the way" or other ideas?

obviously this will be much easier to test fit now before the body goes on, but trying to identify the 3D space without the body to align with

open to all ideas
