How hard is it really..? Is the aligning process critical and hard?

critical, yes. hard, depends on how many people you have to help, and what tools you're using. Bolt-ins are cake, weld/dimpled ones take a bit more finesse.

thanks. I have an 86 that has a messed up radiator support. I see i can buy it new but the hard part must be the install. How much do you think someone that has experience welding but not a pro can do it for? So the stock one is welded dimpled im guessing.., shouldnt the new one go on the same..? I didnt know you can just bolt on?

Hardest part for me was cutting the old one out. I had some fun getting my new one in also since my frame rails seemed wider that the replacement support. I ended up plug welding it back in using the holes I drilled for the spot welds, and then put a perimeter lap weld around the frame rails where they hit the support. Lets just say I wouldnt want to get hit with the front of my car.
