Great thread. Should be a killer build. Love those valve covers.

Started to shave the drip rails today. I am cutting the drip rails in 6 inch sections and welding them up before moving on to the next 6 inch section.

I like that idea! We just hacked mine off and then welded very very slowly...

Hahaha...I did the same thing Ron. Hacked the whole side off. I like the 6-inch-at-a-time-idea. Maybe, I can get it right when I start on my C10.

You're not kidding, I have much respect for these custom shops and their metal fabricators. Unfortunatley, I've got more time than money so I am doing it myself. Although in the end I am sure it will be much more gratifying.

Needed a change of pace from the drip rails so I decided to clean up my trunk hinges and make them a little more presentable.

Here is the before....


And the after....

Wow, nice work on the hinges. They look almost like aftermarket now, I might have to give it a shot on mine.
