Re: MY build thread...
on the lower front fender drain area it is just a super tiny small little hole in the back of the lower fender brace,thats why all of these trucks rust so commonly in this area.i did a truck back in 94 and put on new gm fenders and before i installed them i drilled a new drain hole in the bottom of the lower fender so water,dirt and crud could drain out.be careful on aiming your drill bit though,you don't want to drill through the outer skin.i used and drove the truck and when i washed it i always shot water into the inside of the lower rear fender and when i finally sold the truck it still did not have any built up crud packed into the fenders.these were a poorly engineered drain on the front fenders that always allowed for dirt,salt,crud,mud to build up in this area.also the same can be said for the front of the inner front fenders,and many other areas of these trucks.your project is coming along nicely.keep up the good work.
