Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Hey, i have your problem. I have a 454 in my 71 and the bottom hose kinks also.. As long as its not cutting off more then 50% of the water your fine... Mines not kinked to bad, but just annoying.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
I will as soon as it's back from the body shop. I haven't forgotten about you. The body shop isn't close either or I'd go take some.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Thanks Dude.
After seeing your truck, I am really thinking to paint my GTO that color! Can't seem to find a good picture of it anywhere in the WWW. Got a bunch, but they are all Corvette's and the body lines on them give you a false impression of what it will look like on a flatter panel such as what your Truck and my GTO have.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Nick, Thanks very much for the spare parts. They were in much better shape than I was expecting. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask. Once I get the burban legal I will bring it by so I can see your truck in person. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress. Harlan

Thanks Harlan... it's been really cool meeting so many nice board members. I have other people to talk trucks with, because my wife sure is tired of hearing it... haha.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
I know exactly what you mean!! By the way I told my wife about your wife saying the suburbans looked like hearses and she agreed. Thats fine with me; that just means that whenever I get it fixed up I won't have to worry about her saying it looks "cute".

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Just an update... My truck went from the body shop to the painter. Everything has been lined up and they had to fix a few things with the body work (passenger door). Now it's getting a few spots fixed, wet sanded and buffed. Will post pics hopefully this Saturday of it home.
