    Hey Torchie, thanks for the help! My Dad said the same thing four for the engine and one for the filter. What does 59 series engine mean? I think my dip stick is... to small... can't believe I just said that!:o Four quarts with one in the filter and it does not even register! Right now there...

    I.F.S.

    It's a good front end. Easy to work on. You need to match the wheel/tire width of the vehicle you are building to the donor vehicle. Or find a wat to adjust with wheel of set.

    Hey Solz, My garage is so small I don't have room to lay the hood out and get everything lined up properly to punch the hood. :o Large one car garage really. I have to push the truck to one side or the other when I'm working on it. I need to lift the box off, but don't have room to put it...

    Thanks Dr. The super traps were free at a flee market. They were beat and needed some metal shaping to get in order. Santa might bring me a Eastwood solid rivet kit. :rolleyes: and if he does I have a plan to insert/mount the lovers. I don't want to punch the hood, There isn't enough room to...

    louvres Made some progress on the louvres forming. 18 g mild. Not sure where they will end up...maybe at the other end of the hood. We'll have to figure that out.

    Thanks Guys. Appreciate the positive feedback. I did some work on the steering wheel today. Filled the cracks and sanded it all down. I like how it turned out. I don't know why but there is an urge to paint it bright red[S

    Went and bought some JB weld putty today to do the steering wheel but thought I would tackle another challenge. The headlight bezels are to big. They are brass and I can't weld them. I thought they would be stainless. So I cut out a section and put them together with backing cut from a spare...
