How to make a 68 Radiator Support Panle from a 69? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

From previous links I learned the I could make a 68 rad support panel from a 69 by grinding off the extra bucket bracket. That being done, the panel now does not have the rolled inside lip that the bracket had. Should this be done to set the bucket back a little further. Also, the hole in the panel seems to be oblong (not round) while the 69 hole was round. There does not seem to be enough flat area straight up from the hole to drill and make the square hole for the adjuster.
How should this look?
Does anyone have a 67-68 panel that they could show a close-up?
