One step forward two back these days. Only two more weeks before the truck goes to storage. I found a reputable drive line shop to shorten my drive shaft. I measured as they asked. took photos of how I measured. Had to take all my info in the parking lot. No one allowed inside with the state of things. its an hour away so after two trips I found out that they cut my drive shaft too long. I'm hoping I can dive it up there Monday and re-weld it while I wait otherwise I'll have 8hrs into this thing.
I plumbed my front brake lines tonight and upgraded the rubber lines to Russel stainless for a C5 Corvette Z06 which are a little longer.
I found some Fake rivets/bolts on ebay for my fender extensions. they seem like they will work well but the holes from the factory extensions to the aftermarket fenders are way off. Like 1/2" off. looks like my only optional are to drill new holes.
