I got one piece on..lol

I got alot of clips now, but my door is out of alignment so I cant put that door trim on cause it rubs and will screw it out. I am NOT a bodyman..

Have you tried just loosening the door hinge bolts, lifting up or lowering the door, and bolting it back down? I did this on one door of mine seemed to help. Of course having a buddy around to help out would've been nice. ;)

jon heres what i would do if i was in your situtation, i would unbolt the door (but just make it loose dont take it off),get some wood shims place them all around the door and then poition it where the shims are all around making a perfect gap and then tighten it up.... but your front fender is on so its gonna be alot harder

Hangover 2 was pretty funny..

Got 1 end of the heater control on. I lack a screw/bolt (ugh).

Almost done with my flasher button. A pin dropped outa the turn signal switch when I was diassembling and now I dunno where it goes back. I have a thread in 67-72 trucks board hopefully someone knows!!

They are pretty small and stick out far, I can see how my original one got broken off so easily.

It took me 1 hr to figure out the steering wheel puller (forgot about the 2 bolts on the sides of the big bolt) I mis placed everything but the main body piece :lol: )

Well, i think ive found my rearend ive been searching for :)

68shortstep (matt), has a 373 5 lug rearend. It needs shoes and the drums turned.

Im hopefully going after it tomorow afternoon and will clean it up a bit do brakes and get it on my truck. Then i will FINALLY be able to carry a spare tire, run a matching set of wheels/tires.

Rallys (stock silver or a wild arse color?)

slots (already polshed up ready to go on, 15/7)

steelies and caps/babymoons

Other suggestion that could be in the budget lol
