yea it was in street trucks from tex mex, one hell of a show everyone should go at least once.

[kev2809]

i knew it looked familiar. my due date to have it running was tex mex. i wanted to drive it out and camp for the weekend and check out the show but not sure if im gonna have enough finished to take it but i think i will still check out the show. its only about 1 and half hours from me

We're not worthy.... We're not worthy... That thing is sweet!

here is the start of making my aftermarket 67 front end fit right the roll was wrong in the hood, the hood was to long, and the fender gap was off

[GREASEMONKEY72]

*****in dude

[kev2809]

damn after market stuff...they can never get that stuff right. i would have given you the left over 67-8 front end i had if you were closer...i just dumped it on saturday.

[propaint81]

i would have appreciated that but i ended up going with a cowl induction to clear my air breather.

I can relate to your fitment work , most folks have no concept of the "behind the scenes" work involved to get uniform tight body lines these trucks didnt have that great of fit and finish from the factory and much of the aftermarket stuff is just close at best. I was afraid to keep track of the hours I had in getting a uniform 3/16 door gap on a cab job once. Very nice work and you are one bold man doin shrinks on after market sheet metal I admire your skill and tenacity!

Subscribed. Thanks for pointing this one out Suville!

your more than welcome to come help block this thing lol

[CheyenneShop]

You are very talented!

[suville]

nice fit, I would caution you on filler for edges it chips pretty easily better to weld a bead on edges and grind to fit its very time consuming and tedious makes ya blind an crazy by the time yur done! But your fit is very nice!

[jmedero]

I'll bring the beer!

[propaint81]

I did all that what ur seeing is mostly glazing putty, there is not much filler there at all. After I'm done with
y metalwork I glaze the whole panel and block it out then start piling on the primmer

bump?!?!?!
