Progress today: Core sppt/fenderwell - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Billla* · 02-25-2006, 11:27 PM

Painted the insdide of the fenderwells and the new, correct radiator top mounts as well as a few other parts with the LAST of my black DPLF. Mounted the core support with the LMC Truck mounts and got the radiator in...in right for the first time since I've had the truck. I got the right side fenderwell in with a bit of beating - the flange that bolts inside the fenderwell to the battery box wasn't straight - CHECK THIS before you install yours. The Totally Stainless kit was perfect - all the bolts so far have been exactly right. I've been adding stainless steel washers under some of the bolts. I found some grommets that fit in the 1/2" hole to mount the relay for the headlights and that's in as well. expandWith the other fenderwell in place I can put a final WET coat of gray DPLF on the fenders and hood and hopefully get them on tomorrow.

Bill, Great progress. I am still trying to get my painting done but just installed a new wood burning furnace and had to erect a curtain to keep any overspray off the new furnace. I hope to get the cab painted this weekend. The good thing is that it is now 95 degrees in my garage and all that heat is free....whoo hooo!

*chuckle* I've been working with a 110K BTU kerosene heater, and it seems to be working out pretty well.
