Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Sorry for no updates lately. I didn't want to show you guys the pictures of the spider webs accumulating on my ride. My two beautiful teenage kids and Their sports have been taking my time and money. I have held off on painting the truck in search of 2 original fenders. I will keep you guys updated and Thank You for following my now 3 year long build.

I agree with you on the original fenders. That's the only way to go man. I'm making an attempt to use all GM sheetmetal on my project. What a pain. |

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Great News! After months of looking I found a complete rust free front clip off a 67. Came complete with core support and inner fenders. The guy also through in 4 doors with all of the glass. Now I can get back to work. I will keep you all updated with photos.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Yes finally! I plan on setting the front clip on my frame to see how well it aligns up before I disassemble it. The left front fender has some filler in it so I plan on stripping everything down to metal.
Thanks! I was surprised how hard it was to find. Thanks Thanks

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I picked up my new front clip from my buddy's house yesterday. I removed the aftermarket clip and installed the original sheet metal clip. The clip was originally on a 1967 C20 with dual batteries. I didn't know dual battery's were an option back then. I couldn't believe how well everything lined up. There is a lot of work to do on this front end but I believe it will be worth it. Today I am going to remove the front end and start stripping the paint in preparation for body work and primer.

Nice work! GM sheetmetal is worth the effort. Watching to see how you tackle the hydro clutch...

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Was that front clip off an old Coke truck? looks like its in awesome shape. Nice score dual battery mounts. Been thinking of getting a drivers side mount for mine so it would look more OE

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I am not sure where the clip came from but so far I am very happy with it. I have spent the last couple of days stripping the hood to bare metal and found no filler. There are a few dings that need repaired but that's it. Send me a PM and I will send you the battery mount. I will not need it.
