Bob.

Luca Giovanetti, in the For Sale Forum. I think the post went up in the last 24 hours.

I seem to recall Jordan has the original plates for his Chev.

Started working on the left fender today. It was a bit beat up and no longer had the nice curve to match the right side one. I traced out the right side curve some plywood to act as a guide while fixed the fender. As the metal had been stretched and warped I have had to cut it so that it would bend. It is slow work but it should get it back close to the original shape.

Work on the fender is all completed. The cutting really allowed me to get a proper bend in place. I was also able to remove the excess stretched metal and keep it from puckering. I ended up using a tiny amount of JB-quick weld over the cured POR to fill a few minor pin holes from my welding. I sanded the JB weld down with a palm sander then over coated with POR again. This should seal it in forever.

Cab rear sliding windows installed. I bought brand new flocked rubber track for them to slide in. They are a tad tight but I feel they will loosen up with a bit of time. This was by far the most tedious assembly I've done yet. The 22 screws with the lock washer and nut on the rear. Lots of washers and nuts were dropped but eventually I got them all in and tightened down.
