Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
My hands have been that way for so many years, I thought that's the way I was born.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I was wondering how close the Brothers wheel wells looked to the factory pieces. From the pictures you posted close enough for me. Let us know if you have any fitment issues.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Looks really good Alan, I wish I could send my truck to you and have you build it so I can sell it. I really need the money. It sucks I cant work on it either!

Your welcome and thanks. I just went and tried to test fit one wheel well and all the bolts fell in except one. It looks like they line up good on the cross braces.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Alan, once again - you’ve shown us your excellent work in great detail. Thanks for the information, as eventually many of us will have to go down this road (or pay massive amounts of cash to have it done) and this grade (class A) of input is invaluable.
Mac.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Hey Allan, have you ever thought of opening up your own shop? Or renting a stall at where you work now? It seems to me that people are restoring there cars & trucks rather than buying new ones. If I promoted more, I know I can make more money. It's just word of mouth right now. I'm winding thing down, and want to retire. I only want to work on my stuff.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Allan I think you know plenty. Look at all the Bozo's out there that own shops or are working at shops, and they call them self Professionals. Some people don't know what good looks like. Your work looks better that good. It LOOKS GREAT.
I'm sure everybody else will agree with me. If that's not a confidence builder I don't know what is. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Just a quick update. I started blocking and want to show a comparision. I blocked the upper side area and want to show the difference. Here is the RT bedside. You can see all of the defects. So far they are blocking out.
Here is the LT side. There is difference. I spent the same amount of time blocking. You can see the block I'm using laying on top. Back to work.

I'm at a stand still right now. Ronnie called me while I was blocking and mentioned he might not want side mouldings. I'll still have to block everything except around the moulding holes.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Same steps. But I prime and block, prime and block, prime and block, more than once.
