Re: [B]65 Stepside Frame off Resto[/B]

We were able to get some work done this week. We got the inner fenders, fenders and front cross pieces mounted on the truck. After hearing some of the stories on repop parts I did not think we could get this done in a day. We did have to adjust some of the parts but were able to get them bolted together. Kind of surprised that the lines matched as well as they did.

We did go ahead and throw the hood on. It's just setting in place. I have a lot of work to do on the hood. Confirmed that we will be able to get this all lined up.

Now to take it all apart and start working on the hood and get my hands on some filler primer. Sure is nice to see my truck looking like a truck for the first time since October.

Look at all those nice NEW parts. I wish I had new fenders. Great to see the progress and it motivates me to get mine done. You are still waaaay ahead of me. LOL!

Re: [B]65 Stepside Frame off Resto[/B]

Congrats on the VERY nice progress !!

You make me want to go out and do some stuff to my hood !! As well as hang my fenders.
I just got in 1969 GTO side marker lenses that I am going to use as turn signal indicators on my fenders, so am kind of excited about that too!

Your daughter's wedding looked like it turned out excellent, glad it went off without a hitch, we all know how that can go.....

For some reason though, like I was with Modges, I was working under the perception that you were much younger, like in your late 20s. Dont know how I got that impression, but none the less.
On the other hand, Jmorales I think is really only 16 years old.... LOL

Just kidding !!

Maybe ahead for the moment but after the hood is fixed I will be taking it all back. Soon it will just look like parts again.

69 GTO lights are an interesting idea! Can't wait to see how they look.

The wedding did turn out great! My wife deserves all the credit. All I did was deal with the overrun on the bar bill. We ended up tripling our bar budget but no regrets. Did have to shut off my son's friends on the Long Island Ice Teas, too many were flowing.

Actually I am 21 but just trapped in a 54 year old body.

I am with you on that brother! Old is a state of mind that I do not want for at least another 30 years!
