well we'll see where this goes, probably not well for me

**zicc1835** · 02-25-2017, 09:54 PM

seems like we all have had that conversation at some point .....if the fenders are as good as they look in the pics this is no coincidence that they are 15 minutes up the road and priced right... grab the core support too ... your 67-68 stuff is worth more than what your paying for the 69-72 stuff if i didn't have another 68 nose in stock id make you whole ...heck your grill is worth at least 150. ill shut up now, I gave more than my 2 cents

good luck on negotiations

**jaros44sr** · 03-04-2017, 07:18 PM

Picked up my cowl panel from the paint shop

[url=https://flic.kr/p/SsuiSx]20170304_111242

working on the top bar off of a GMC, might work yet, without buying fenders.

Having a problem with my hood to cowl seal, mine is formed with a 90 degree bend and pushes up on the hood, seems like I need a seal that is formed with a 60 degree bend, after market is not always what they are cracked up to be, search continues

My seal was like that also, but the hood actually will push the seal over because the hood comes down at a rearward angle. I would fit the hood then install the seal.

**jaros44sr** · 03-05-2017, 07:33 PM

thanks for the advise, will give it a go....

**jaros44sr** · 03-14-2017, 07:50 AM

This might work, yet! need to adjust eyebrow trim, and get mounting clips, and modify my 68 grill

Just waiting on Wes to send new eyebrow molding to see how I have to modify clips

finally figured out how to mount my stone guards, and put the fender side trim on

**jaros44sr** · 03-28-2017, 09:13 AM

Was talking to LKS DCVN the other day and he was asking about my stone guards on my Halogen lights, so I found out that they fit inside mounting rings with a little mod., had to cut two wires that were interfering with the glass protrusions on the sealed beam. Just used my small dremel with a cutoff wheel, you can see it at the third horizontal row. The third one sits directly on a space in the mesh

they sit tight with about 1/4" space to the head light

gonna try and solder this up myself, can't be to hard...flux, solder, and heat. Right?

what a PITA, I hope I never have to install another GMC eyebrow for the rest of my life. Clips were impossible

At least the tank was easy, couple hours

**zicc1835** · 03-30-2017, 09:50 PM

looks great Jim, patience is a virtue....skill is learned, you have both

Thanks Jess, I have to admit, both were tested today....I don't envy any GMC owner that has to mount a repro eyebrow. Asked Wes if it was possible to buy them with clips installed, and he said "no"

so, the front is finished, once I get the hinges bolted up

That front clip looks good, I like the rock guards as well...one of those things that might not get noticed by many folks but really sets the front end apart.
