Re: 68' GMC Build from Sweden
The core support, radiator all finished up, added access to the radiator cap. The wheel wells didnt turn out as we hoped for so'll be making new ones, ordered a bead roller so its going to look better when we redo them...
Started the install of the vintage air system, damn tight under dash, had to redo some stuff for it to work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
