Re: PO has me PO'd
seems like we all have had that conversation at some point .....if the fenders are as good as they look in the pics this is no coincidence that they are 15 minutes up the road and priced right... grab the core support too ... your 67-68 stuff is worth more than what your paying for the 69-72 stuff if i didn't have another 68 nose in stock id make you whole ...heck your grill is worth at least 150. ill shut up now, I gave more than my 2 cents:) good luck on negotiations :)

Re: PO has me PO'd
Picked up my cowl panel from the paint shop
https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3850/3...d670cc5a_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/SsuiSx]20170304_111242 working on the top bar off of a GMC, might work yet, without buying fenders. Having a problem with my hood to cowl seal, mine is formed with a 90 degree bend and pushes up on the hood, seems like I need a seal that is formed with a 60 degree bend, after market is not always what they are cracked up to be, search continues https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/629/33...96869172_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/SpENEa]20170302_124457 |

Re: PO has me PO'd
My seal was like that also, but the hood actually will push the seal over because the hood comes down at a rearward angle. I would fit the hood then install the seal.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Was talking to LKS DCVN the other day and he was asking about my stone guards on my Halogen lights, so I found out that they fit inside mounting rings with a little mod., had to cut two wires that were interfering with the glass protrusions on the sealed beam. Just used my small dremel with a cutoff wheel, you can see it at the third horizontal row. The third one sits directly on a space in the mesh
they sit tight with about 1/4" space to the head light https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2941/3...813de7b3_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/S5ygQH]20170327_112131 |

what a PITA, I hope I never have to install another GMC eyebrow for the rest of my life. Clips were impossible At least the tank was easy, couple hours [url=https://flic.kr/p/SbbBXz]https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2898/3...34a61cd1_c.jpg |

Re: PO has me PO'd
That front clip looks good, I like the rock guards as well...one of those things that might not get noticed by many folks but really sets the front end apart.
