Re: off it goes
buttoning up some things on the interior now that we got all the gauges working. Has any issue with no fuel gauge but turned out to be a faulty sending unit, all fixed... Also took the NOS door handles and polished the inserts to a mirror finish, being as there is nothing else on the truck brushed. Polishing the shifter, tilt lever and signal as well

Re: off it goes
As the engine rocks in its mounts, will it over-stress the intake tube? I'm not seeing any flex joint in the intake.

Re: off it goes
Yes laser cut piece is an exact copy of the factory plastic one, so yes mounting holes all lined up. As for the mesh, we used a panel bond adhesive to keep them in place. We used the panel bond because at that time I was leaving the finish mirrored so we couldn’t tack weld it, but now that we painted it we could of done a small tack to keep them in place.

Re: off it goes
I like the filler pieces you made for the bumpers. Did you attach them to the body or to the fenders?

Re: off it goes
This has to be the nicest Squarebody ever built (EDIT: hell, it might be the nicest truck ever built...). It is on my bucket list to see it once it's done.
