ya, your right. i havent trimmed the hinges just yet, i wanted to get both of the fenders trimmed back first. if i measure right, i will have to take about an inch out of them, just before the bottom bolt hole, and they should fit flush. im just hoping i measured everything right and they dont touch the tires. i really cant go any smaller, and im still thinking 22's in the future.

im hoping to get on the passenger fender today, then probably start the body work on them...or at least get them in a couple coats of primer.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Looks good man! I love home-garage builds. Always a greater feeling of accomplishment. Not always perfect, but thats not what it's about. It's about having fun, friends, building YOUR project, and learning along the way. I'd rather roll my Burb with a few flaws here and there, knowing I did it. Instead of driving something I paid someone else to do.

Awesome!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

looking good so far....if u go 22's, i think u'll have to move the hinges in from the fender...i run 20's and it hits...in fact, when i bought my burb, there were no hinges....i had to "tape" the hood shut..pretty ghetto i know...now it's forward tilt and problem solved
