Thank you. Just looked at your build. Looking good. Really like the engine.

Trsmotrhed · 12-30-2013, 11:25 AM

Started on the passenger fender. This is how the previous owner patched the fender. At least he didn't take the full length of the patch panel like on drivers side.

Got the new patch panel welded up along with the inner brace.
I'll coat back side of fender with POR15 to help keep rust away.

Trsmotrhed · 01-02-2014, 07:13 PM

Mocked up the fender and fit great.

Sprayed epoxy primer on both fenders, cowl panels and bed front.

Thanks. I'm finally going to get going on my truck again after a year. Ready to get going again. Missed working on my truck.

one thing I didn't catch, is what trans you're using?

I got the 4L60E with my LT1, but dunno if I actually want to use it.

I'm using the 4L60E and love it.the overdrive tranny is nice.

Did you end up doing any smog deletions or other mods to the engine?

Yes, deleted all the smog stuff and had the computer flashed for that. I bought the block off plates for the holes.

Hi there, I haven't made much progress. Life got in the way. I'm hoping to start back at it this summer. Miss working on it. If you need anything let me know.
