Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build
Installed the oil cooler over the weekend and took her off the jack stands. Overall I like the stance of the 4/6 drop now that it has the weight of the engine and transmission on it.
I fought and fought the new inner fender on the passenger side. Several of the holes don't line up. Has anyone else had this issue with the Goodmark fenders? I am about to take it completely off and start all over. For the life of me I don't know how I will ever get these inner fenders in without scratching them all up once painted.
Radiator has shipped and will be here Wednesday. Was hoping to roll her out on Saturday and fire her up, but winter returns this weekend.
