Default removing an upper radiator support at junk yard

I need to get the upper radiator support from a car at the junk yard. Have no battery powered sawzall or angle grinder.... what do u guys recommend I try? Think some bolt cutters will get it off so I can get it home and use the grinder here?

I would not recommend bolt cutters. Buy, borrow or rent the sawzall.
My local Craigslist has 8 for sale between $30 and $60.

Might be a little late for you but it could help someone else in your position. I changed the radiator support on my 00 galant with nothing more than a cordless drill (19.2v li-ion) with a 1/8" bit & a spot weld cutter from hf. Judging from my 97 accord, the upper support looks a lot easier than the full support on the mitsu
