and had to fill that radio hole:

Todays goal, new chrome front bumper and probably give the ralleys a coat or two of white.
You think I should I paint my rims first or after new tires? (another question...

BB72CHEVKT · 08-10-2007, 09:24 AM

Looks good LuvLegs - Looks like you might need to raise that exhaust up a little???
What part of the country are you in - I have a running 350SB that I'd donate to the cause...

Luvlegs · 08-11-2007, 11:10 PM

the exhaust is on the list (just need to get the hangers back on) - got the front bumper off - what a job - half of them spun in the holes.... ugh. I just want to start driving it to work daily (soon as it cools off a little). Hopefully by this fall I'll have the big engine done and ready to go in.....
