It only took maybe an hour or so to prep it and put the resin and fiberglass cloth on, but the bodywork was alot longer. There's over a half gallon of Rage in it so between bondo-ing and block sanding probably 8-10 hrs, and it needs a few more to get it ready to paint.

I have the centers for them but they're gmc and i think they look better this way....they wont be on much longer! maybe before I park it for the winter I'll put them back on..

SSDELUX....I dont know if you've ever been there before, but the Barrie automotive flea market is on next weekend sept 9-12, and is an awesome place to find some wheels, tires, or anything else you might ever need for your truck, car, or whatever. I'm def. going again this year!

Re: My 86 build
 
.....does anyone know of a cheap, shorter replacement shock? I just need something to get me by untill I build my notch and four link set up....or should I spend the money and buy drop shocks now?

After a couple of hours with a drill and wire wheel, I painted and clear coated my serpitine set up. I forgot to take a pic of the clutch fan and alternator and all the other bolts and hardware, but its all painted and ready to go on. I might try to do that friday. I still need a a/c compressor delete pulley, water pump gaskets, and a power steering pump puller....oh and figure out how to wire up alternator.
