Re: Another 59 with LS
So today's goal was to mount fenders and hood and check gaps. Had to rework lower fender mounts. Went back together pretty well.

Re: Another 59 with LS
Interior panels. These actually hold the latches then this panel bolts to stock interior removable panel

Re: Another 59 with LS
Great work on the truck. I'm in the process of doing a swap and was curious what oil pan you ended up using? I have a MII IFS also, but my truck is bagged so I will definately need clearance. Thanks.

Re: Another 59 with LS
I've been working on the body but not the engine. I got a shallow gm pan I think it's for a camaro. Have not installed yet. I'll post when I get it installed In a few weeks

Re: Another 59 with LS
Awesome color choice, usually not a fan of dual color around small window cab but this color combo sets it off. Lots of work went into the shaved drip rail.
Congrats JT from SC |

Re: Another 59 with LS
I didn’t get the full panel with my latches. Did you have to ask for them? Now I have to modify my panels to get them to fit.

Yep I asked for the panels. Made it much easier to fit the latches.

Re: Another 59 with LS
Yep after getting my 2002 Ls complete and running I got a deal on a 2014 LT from a low mileage truck. So got a new harness and switched to the LT. runs great. Still need new valve covers and some paint on the intake to dress it up.
