looking good, progress is great. It's starting to get cold here ( supposed to go under 10 middle of the week) so its getting hard to work in the garage.

[drivea55]

yeah, its snowing here ...

i have to run the kerosene bullet heater for a 1/2 hour before starting any project from now on. darn cold...

but its the price you pay...

left side done now...

the driver side was so bad that the lower fender support that i fabricated will have to wait for a test fit before being welded in.
as you can see the passenger side was ok enough for me to blast it and weld it in place.

*note*

if anybody buys the panels from ecklers... the lower part of the panel dips towards the firewall instead of pitching outward, so your lower fender brackets will not line up with them without major hammering, or shortening of the fender location brackets...

maybe this is only with a 3600, I do not know... but i had to shorten it 1/4 inch cause of its "new" form.

details to hopefully help others...

you will need to shorten both sides 1/4 inch to match new panels... and manipulate to further fit.

ok then ...

moving right a long...
