I know what you mean, its tough!! I also used it on the floor boards before I put the sound deadner on.

Yep all repro. I had to take a little time to fit it, but overall it wasn't that bad. A little extra time fitting repro was better for me than fixing all the rust on mine.

Thanks, I have an extra hood. But I'm about to cut patch panels out of it for the hood on my truck. The other hood is not all that great, but where I need the patch panels its rust free.

Not any good ones.

My son and I are building his 1st truck.

I hope yall dont throw rocks at me, but we are taking a 66 short fleet and putting it on a 77 K5 Blazer chassis.

I thought about lengthening the frame, but we decided it would be cool if we shortened and bobbed the bed.

Just about got the frame sand blasted and primered. The body should start bein fitted next week.

jchav62 · 03-14-2008, 10:18 PM

Looks like all the new sheet metal fit together good. I had trouble with an after market fender that I bought. The front of the fender doesn't line up with the grille support. Your's looks cherry! Good work! Who did you get your stuff from?

I bought the fenders off ebay for $165 each, and the grille support came from a board member MBGMIKE. I had to take time to fit the fender on the driver side because it didn't line up right like you said. I just egged shaped the holes to get a little adjustment and that did the trick!!

62 short step · 03-15-2008, 12:10 AM

I just started to fix the rust on the hood, here are a few pics. Well back to work!!

62 short step · 03-15-2008, 12:11 AM

buster0104 · 03-15-2008, 12:20 AM

Looks good Jeremy! I have been outside cutting and welding on my drivers door all morning. started getting frusterated so I'm taking a break. Trying to get everything ready for the new gaskets I ordered. Keep up the good work. Dustin
