Finally got around to my roll pans
Well I finally got around to putting on my front and rear roll pans, they've only been painted for 6 or 7 years, lol.
The rear fit very well, I just had to "adjust" the license plate bracket. The front, being made out of fiberglass and sitting on a shelf for years took some grinding and holding my tongue just right to get it fit and holes marked and drilled but it's on. We'll see if it cracks apart since my grill has seen better days.

Re: Finally got around to my roll pans
Thanks!
I really need to get the front down a ways, the 5.3 weighs a lot less that the 454 did. Just trying to decide which spring to go with.

Re: Finally got around to my roll pans
It weighs 400 lbs less than the big block! I scaled it before and after. 3420 with the big block and 3044 now with the 5.3.

Re: Finally got around to my roll pans
The company I got it from is out of business. I think Yogi's still sells them though.
