Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks guys. Sunday I finished blasting the grille mounting panel and got it primed. Last night night I assembled the front sheet metal but I don't think it sit as low as it should. The front is lowered four and a half inches and six inches in the back. I will try to post pictures later in the week.

Thanks They are original inner fenders that I got from Alan a couple years ago. All I've done is sandblast and put primmer on them. Hopefully the body work will come soon enough. Next up is welding the outer roof panel in place.

I put a tape on my '66 and the inner fender is 36 inches from firewall to radiator support. If that helps......? Danny

Re: Greg65 build thread
Here are a few pictures of my new to me drivers door. The one I bought out of Texas was all busted up around where the window regulator mounts. Maybe now the paint and body work. The first thing will be repairing the speaker hole in the door.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Glad to see you got a good door on the way, I feel the same way about the door I got from them too, The I one I got was trash too, barely worth cutting it up for a repair.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks,that's where I measured so Im out by 1/4.I'm still using my old gaskets for mockup,so maybe Ill realize the extra 1/ 4 with the new ones.
Just out of curiosity,if you look at your rad support from the side...does it lean backward like mine ? Thanks again, Ed.

I put a short level on the fender, to make sure the truck was sitting level and when I checked the rad support, it looked just like yours (about a 1/4 inch gap). So mine is leaning back also and this front end has never been removed. I'm as surprised as you are, I never knew it raked back like that. I guess it's true, ya learn something new every day. Now if I could just remember for more than a day I'd be really smart. Guess I should of stopped smoke'n dope just one day earlier.... Danny

I was on my way out the door and didn't proof read my post. The 1/4 inch gap is between the level and the rad support, looking just like your level/support photo, but my level is smaller.... Sorry again. Danny
