Re: 70 K20 Build in Alaska

Sorry in the delay guys. Let me see if I can make this as short as possible. I always had a feeling the truck had the wrong front fenders on it as the old grill fit horrible. After the guys got the old ones jammed and aligned, they went to test fit the new grill and could tell something was wrong. Turns out they were either GMC or 67-68 fenders and someone somehow made the 70 grill fit. Well, being in Alaska it take a little while to get new fenders up here so I flew back from a business trip down to California and came back with 2 as checked baggage. I picked them up from Classic Industries. haha. Did I mention it sucks building anything in Alaska?! It was a nightmare to get the fenders,hood,doors aligned. Anyway, wheels are painted and everything is aligned and ready for paint. Should be out by the end of the week and then it's reassembly time. In a turn of events my work told me I may be transferred down to Washington in September so, I may try to sell it before I go to avoid the $2000 cost. If not I will have to suck it up and ship it.
