Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

on the aluminum core support.... it would be nice if custom builders WOULD LISTEN!!!!! I told him 1 3/4 inch max width he said oh no 2 inch be find.... here to say BFS all the top panels 1/4 inch out of alignment most importantly the hood latch post I mean dam come on.. after months of arguing I gave up trying to get him to fix it.. wasted 2200 dollars..... honestly knowing this now would have waited the 6 weeks for the auto rad one /sigh oh well lesson learned..... sooo…. got a repop support and started modding it to fit the nice lil radiator he built will find out if it works having my doubts but at least the core work will be ready if I need to go another route..... friend of mine is currently smoothing out the cuts on the repop support but I did get the radiator to fit down in it using the brute force grinder method rotflmao.. smooth it out and see where at next
Ifn anyone gets a mind to do similar get plenty of references and not just positive ones he had rave reviews from HIS supplied list uuuggghhhh still have heart burn now over this issue. sorry will stop *****ing now onwards upwards and to the frikkin beyond this aint a set back rather a learning curve.. on another note texas bound this September ready tobe home and start work on my other toys once my kiddo is done 66 burb next then rewire the 64 1 ton and put him to work for the wifey!!!!
