Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

there are those rubber stoppers that they use for hood alignment they usually screw into the bodywork at the corners , you could use those to hold the sheetmetal in place

Have fun man. I was thinking about doing something like that on mine, but I think I'll get it running first. Tired of stacking stuff around it.

I also like the way Keith drew up the filler panel, it gives that finished look. I cant wait to see how it all comes together Mike.
