How is the fitment of the hood with this type of hinge? Is it a tight secure fit or is theis a little lift and movement in the rear of teh hood?
Thanks for any info you can give. And again pic's pic's pic's

looks awesome!!! im a buick fanatic and I must say those portholes are gonna set those front fenders off! very good taste! i dig it! oh by the way that shotgun scoop is *****in too.

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-10-2005, 11:50 AM

Thanks mile!!!! The shotgun scoop is no longer on it though guy off here purchased it from me and i got an oval flamed air cleaner that would fit under the hood easily.

Rokcrln · 07-10-2005, 01:35 PM

So Gheto~ Where are those hood hinge pics? Also what did you do suspention wise on yours to achieve that stance?

Kevin

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-10-2005, 06:08 PM

I took the pics but the camera is at the shop i'll post em tomorrow evening after work.

Rokcrln · 07-10-2005, 07:21 PM

Thanks, So what did it take to get 20-22's on the front and sit it that low. Bags, spindles, fender chopping?...

Kevin

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-11-2005, 08:50 PM

I raised the front engine crossmember 1.5 inches, bags with upper plates and no lower cups, 2.5 inch drop spindles, custom tierods, and custom sterring shaft.

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-11-2005, 09:05 PM

Few pics of the Sasche Rod Shop hinges and 67 hood install progress. Had to cut the firewall out and weld in new plate is reason the firewall has body filler on right side its just a skim coat i gotta knock down and prime. Gotta finish hood install, fab rear floorboard, and do all the bodywork (skim coating whole truck after hammer/dolly work and strippin to bare metal/epoxy priming) then ima remove engine build wheel tubs and refinish all of it again including the engine block and intake.

**gregfull** · 07-11-2005, 09:44 PM

gheto, looking gooooood! I'm putting the same hinges on my hood, but what's up with the 67 hood? Does this hood fit without any mods? If not, how did you modify it? I'd like to borrow that idea on my burb. I like the slope of the 67-68 hood. Can't wait to see it finished.

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-11-2005, 10:14 PM

Only mod was cuttin 2.5 inches off leading edge at the grille and it is lookin like i gotta reshape cowl panel.

Rokcrln · 07-12-2005, 12:58 AM

Thanks, I am going to order mine next week!
What have you done to get it to the hight it is at? Mine Has a 2" body drop,"Z"ed frame, notch in back that needs to go about 3-4" bigger, 3" drop spindles and bags.

What are your plans for inner wells? I am going to section the inside of the fender and raise it up 2" (the section you removed) and this will match teh body drop and I hope I will be able to use stock inner wells.

Kevin

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-12-2005, 08:23 AM

Stock inner wells arent gonna work depending on rim/tire size, where they roll down on the inside is where the tire is actually gonna be sitting. Probally could totally reshape em and make them work though. Ima use trailer fenders and fill back in around them where they attach to the fender so its really clean.

86swb · 07-12-2005, 10:25 AM

Nice job. Can not wait to see the finish pictures.

Putter · 07-12-2005, 04:32 PM

Ghetto,
Didn't you relocate the shop??? I was in Lexington, then Durant today and passed by the old location a few times. I thought you mentioned that you moved up the street a ways. So....where did you go? I wanted to drop in and say "Hey" and maybe get another look at the burb.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, it is really coming together & looking slick!!!

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-12-2005, 06:47 PM

I moved about a mile South of the old shop on the same side of the road come on by and visit man u know i love to talk trucks LOL

Putter · 07-13-2005, 09:57 AM

A mile south??? Holly crap. We literally drove 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile south of the old location before turning around. Man...we must have been within 100 yards or so. Doooohhh.

*ghetocrewzer* · 07-14-2005, 09:56 PM
