Thanks Randy! I'm confident that when I awake friday I'll be feeling far better than when I went to sleep Thursday! I can't wait!

Mike lay back relax and you will be doing a swing dance soon .


Don is good to hear from you the mid 30 are elusive specially a 37 took me a while and a sad sell to get the cash . Hope one lands in your yard soon will keep ya busy .

Ok, as promised, here are a few pics of the rear fenders bolted back on for a test fit.

Chassis Engineering sells a lowering block kit especially for '37's that will also allow you to adjust the rear axle forward up to 3/4". I think I'll need that to get the wheel centered in the fenderwell and lower it a bit more. I might go with a size taller tire when it's all said & done....

The right fender fits pretty good. A little skim coat here & there and it will be fine.

The left fender was in pretty bad shape back when I got the car. My dad did some extensive repairs around the wheel well back in the day that will need some extra attention.

I also welded in the fuel door kit.

I have a new trunk lid coming on Friday. I'm excited to see how it looks.
