Thats not grease. It just General Motors engine bay rust proofing.

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
Thanks...I was thinking about breaking up the black a little too...mabey paint the grill white, or something.
As far as the drop...not sure what it is, when I got the truck, it was already lowered....not sure what they measure stock. If someone can give me a measurement from the fender lip to the bottom edge of the rim,(on a stock truck) then I would be able to tell ya. Later

72 Nova ? COOL...I have a 71 SS. Well it's obviously taken me longer than what my previous post said of a week to get it back together.... My next customer is being patient (father-n-law).....  Just built an adapter to use my VW Type 1 towbar on the truck... Hopefully will be able to tow it tommorow to San Jose Steam Clean to remove all the 'GM Rust-Proofing'..... I wish I had the time to do it right...and drop the frame on this thing..... OH well John
