Re: Project '86
I missed somewhere that you changed the inner fender wells on the ft fenders. I am glad I caught that I was about to make the mistake of putting the single fenders in. Did they rub?

I installed them before I decided to do the body drop so they were too low afterward.

Since I had to redo them anyway I decided to change it up and go with the tandem axle trailer fender instead.

Wow great work. From that 91 to that 72 and everything else in between. I am sure I missed something along the way buried in the many pages. Top notch.

Re: Project '86
Nicely done ...

Also .... the shops got to be better than the old overhang & outdoors!! I've watched for a while.

Great progress.

The shop is definitely an improvement. I didn't even have an overhang, I just had the outdoors

Ahh.... Us Texas guys must have all used the same shop builder. Blue ceiling & green/grey floors prob huh? I guess some guys might have opted for the brown floor but I never considered it (not much into brown).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

That's right ... the overhang was for the doorway into your crib.

KUDOS my friend & great job so far on both.
