Junior2561 10 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) some how i managed to get back out to the garage last night.... I hung the hood and fenders to start fitting those up.. massive gaps; but they only seem to be on the tops of the door to fender on both sides. This is with the hood not adjusted... down the side Then i scrubbed the outside of the fender aprons...it was cool to see that red oxide under there I finished up by welding up a few holes in the aprons that will not be used.

Junior2561 10 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 the biggest pain is going to be reuploading 450+ pictures. Do they have afeature where you can select a large mass of photos and just upload? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Can you post a link to your photobucket album like Mike's (below)? Chances are your photos are there, they're just not getting embedded in your posts right. My build album.http://s1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff499/NJMike69/ [url=http://s1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff499/NJMike69/][/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
