Core support??
How much would a shop charge to replace a core support and fender aprons on a 91 mustang? and what all is involved with that

yep, you can interchange front clips from car to car. but if you don't know where to cut them, you should probably just take the donor car to the shop with you.

Bandit is about right on with his answer. I know 89 Hoss hit one of the body shops we have locally and they were going to charge $600 for the LH fender apron and core support. That included painting the parts too.

If you have a straight donor car.Drill out the spot welds around where the fender apron meets in front of the strut tower.Thats the easiest way,that way its the same on both cars.Its around 700.00 labor to have someone take off the core support and put a new one on.
