Great update! Congrats on the grand baby! Also, we need a video of that motor running! What mufflers did you go with and do you like how they sound?

Re: I am from the Desert
That's gotta be one of the best weeks a man could have. Bringing life to a beautiful classic Chevy truck and a daughter bringing life to beautiful baby. It truly doesn't get better than that I believe. Congratulations my friend. God is good.

inner fenders installed yesterday:)had to drop the lower A arm today just didn't sit right I noticed it months ago didn't want to tackle it....but gotter done TODAY sitting proper now:waah:
|
Re: I am from the Desert
I like the painted inners. Gives the engine bay a clean look.
|
Re: I am from the Desert
What was the problem with the suspension to cause it to not sit right? Binding or spring not in the proper position? I will paint my inner fenders body color too. Looks great!

think it just didn't seat correctly with the initial install 4 inch drop spindles / springs combo I made sure it was positioned properly on the lower control arm when I put it back together it seemed better but didn't pass the finger between the tire and fender test on each side :) I then put my milk crate seat in took it on the street in my neighborhood and wanted to beat on it any way.... second burn out I heard a loud thump I assumed my spring positioning process was a success ....all kidding aside it must have needed that trauma to seat properly .....I struggled with same color inner fenders and now very happy with it engine bay does look brighter cleaner and show cases the engine thanks for asking will be looking for yours Jess |

today we put the grill on,, hood hinges and hood had the cowl on but removed it ....GAPS and adjusting the hood :waah: my Cousin doing a hinge ( body and fender guy all his life then managed a fairly big dealership body shop) He and I struggled with the hood latch and gaps put it all together and took it apart He is OCD like the rest of us ( you didn't think I could do all of this alone :) and called it a day... will get back at it Monday and get as close as we can at least as good as the GENERAL did back in the day...progress...
PS I will tuck the harness behind the fender ....some day:devil: |
