Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

Sept 26th Weekend

Went back up the the junk yard and scored some rear shocks and wiring pig tails for ten bucks.

Inner fenders were a pain for me. Found it easier to separate the front clip and bolt the inner fender onto the fender one at a time, put em on and start cutting away at them. They will be cut differently than one another. Pretty much have the front clip finalized with the exception that I need to buy a new radiator (on its way) and then I will make sure my rad support and all that fits the new radiator. Once I bolt the rad support in it will help support the front clip. I also have to make a custom splash guard for underneath the radiator.

Worked on some wiring. I am using EZ wiring. I like the kit, but I really wish they sold some pig tails, for example. Everything is set up to directly wire to something. I am trying to have most everything wire into pig tails or some sort of connector, that way if you ever have to take anything off, you don't have to cut wires, you simply unplug them.

got a pipe bender off of CL for 115 bucks and it is brand new, can bend up to 3" pipe. I am going to try and bend my own exhaust so I'll keep you all posted on if it is worth it. Put in passenger side window as well.
