Thank you Andrew. We got the hood and fenders aligned the best they are going to be. They don’t line up perfectly but are as close as we could get them. I did have to extend the holes for the fenders on the radiator core support to allow more upward movement of the fender. Thanks for checking out the videos. Much more to come and eventually I will begin phase 2 which is the dash pad, door panels, new motor swap, new brake lines and fixing the dual tanks so that both work oh and steering slop issues so lots more to do and lots more coming soon.

hey there jd, 456 gears u will love them with 35s......iv got same gears with 33s....just a tad bit too high of a ratio on the hiway...im tacking 3200at 120kmh..75mph?....ish (im up in Canada) .....lol...gonna move up to 35s this summer after my rebuild...one thing id like to mention is that those front turn sinal light sockets will not fit that u swapped....u need to find the low profile ones like the factory one ....they will bottom out on the rad core support and stop u from installing the grill....just a heads up :)...otherwise wikked nice job
I'm looking forward to the 4.56 gears w the 35's. Yeah I learned that also as those light sockets would not fit and I had to order the flat style you mentioned. Thanks for the call out and stay warm up there!! JD
Primer on the shirt is a badge of honor 😎, you owe Matt Big Time !
Thanks Mike and yes, I do owe Matt for sure. He's been a great friend and is always very helpful. JD
Looking good brother. Matt’s looking younger with that tight haircut!!
haha that's funny. Thanks John. JD
Love the progress. I'm really looking forward to the panel alignment. I've got a build that kind of parallels yours.
