Although I'm installing NOS fenders and quarters on a 1970 350 car but the customer had multiple sets lol Interior looks mint! Exactly my plan. Thanks 5 Quote

Dtret Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 Core support totally redone. I have to figure out what I want to do to the grill yet. I left the fan shroud off ( I have a correct one for it) because I going to do some engine work. That’s why there are no fenders also. It’s just easier to work on. May have to pull the heads, as it has a potential bent valve ( 80 pounds compression on # 1) the rest are 140-160. Could be a lifter also. Time to get to doing some yard work. 7 Quote
Scott S. Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I think that having the fenders off will make it much easier to work on the engine...... But where will you set your tools ??? Or beer ?? 3 2 Quote
