well we'll see where this goes, probably not well for me

Re: PO has me PO'd

seems like we all have had that conversation at some point .....if the fenders are as good as they look in the pics this is no coincidence that they are 15 minutes up the road and priced right... grab the core support too ... your 67-68 stuff is worth more than what your paying for the 69-72 stuff if i didn't have another 68 nose in stock id make you whole ...heck your grill is worth at least 150. ill shut up now, I gave more than my 2 cents good luck on negotiations

Re: PO has me PO'd

Picked up my cowl panel from the paint shop

[url=https://flic.kr/p/SsuiSx]20170304_111242

working on the top bar off of a GMC, might work yet, without buying fenders.

Having a problem with my hood to cowl seal, mine is formed with a 90 degree bend and pushes up on the hood, seems like I need a seal that is formed with a 60 degree bend, after market is not always what they are cracked up to be, search continues

Re: PO has me PO'd

My seal was like that also, but the hood actually will push the seal over because the hood comes down at a rearward angle. I would fit the hood then install the seal.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Was talking to LKS DCVN the other day and he was asking about my stone guards on my Halogen lights, so I found out that they fit inside mounting rings with a little mod., had to cut two wires that were interfering with the glass protrusions on the sealed beam. Just used my small dremel with a cutoff wheel, you can see it at the third horizontal row. The third one sits directly on a space in the mesh

they sit tight with about 1/4" space to the head light

what a PITA, I hope I never have to install another GMC eyebrow for the rest of my life. Clips were impossible

At least the tank was easy, couple hours

Thanks Jess, I have to admit, both were tested today....I don't envy any GMC owner that has to mount a repro eyebrow. Asked Wes if it was possible to buy them with clips installed, and he said "no"

so, the front is finished, once I get the hinges bolted up

That front clip looks good, I like the rock guards as well...one of those things that might not get noticed by many folks but really sets the front end apart.
