My body guy did say that was probably the reason the PO cut the frame horns off of it and installed the roll pans on the front and back....Ah yes...more lessons learned....UGH!!! I'll let you know the final expense when I see him....hopefully not too bad!!!!

Re: Project: Mistress
AHHHHHH....finally got the Mistress home last weekend!!!....thus the 1st pic...I missed her, and was out looking at her and my wife stepped out and I just started huggin' the truck!!!!
Called a local hot rod shop earlier this week and asked if they had an "old timer" they knew that did alignments.....so I stop by to see him today...after a few measurements...he looked at me and said....you had this thing on a 'puter didn't you?!?!?....Yes-sir....well, don't ever take it to them again!!!....this Cat was definitely an old timer, been doing it for 30+ years!!!....Loved watchin' him work and listening to his stories!!!.... Enjoy a couple of garage pics....

Re: Project: Mistress
Nice job.
Sometimes when they are finished, you are so relieved that you just park them and look at them awhile.......

Re: Project: Mistress
Sorry for the double post...but it's my thread and I can do that!!!
Well....been working on some small things lately....I'll post up pics soon (sorry pic mongers)....got some new plug wires and suppose to pick up some aluminum Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner cover today.....gotta clean'em up and install...stay tuned!! Also, found my passenger rear axle oil seal leaking while crawling underneath and wiping down the frame (yeah, I can be anal like that). Gotta get the parts together for that replacement as well.....Probably going to change the rear axle bearings while I'm there.....hopefully I'll do a how-to for it.....suppose to be easy, but I'll be the judge of that!!!
