I agree with Daze57. That does look good. I bet it stiffens the hood up a small amount too. Good job, LDO

Pulled the old 250 out and put the new modified 250 in. Ran into a snag with the front cast header. Everything else is ready to go.

One of the items that Eastwood lists for steering wheel restoration is PC-7 epoxy. Ace hardware stores carry it and it costs less there.

Half of the hub cap search completed. Got a set of 4 regular caps. Need to get two for the front with 4wd hub holes. Then will sell two regular I have left. Contingency plan would be to modify flat ones, but hate to mess up something that is in good shape.

I pulled off the 73 Camaro clip and mocked up a 97 S10 clip. Much happier with it. But being that I pulled it from a bare frame, I don't know the ride height of the S10. So I'm stuck until I figure it out....none of my neighbors drive an S10.
Anyone out there knows the ride height?
