Nothing. Since it is going to have to go in a big metal box for the next 6 years.(The plan was 33 10.5 15 KM2s)
What?

I am finishing it just in time to store it away or sell it. I am moving to the Far East and it can not come.

maybe some minor adjustments to the apron/hood/bib geometry ?
Hugh - you have to store it...
This is the 40 I dream about, and then have to change the sheets.

I know you are not serious right now
The hood is fxxxed up as described in the thread. The bib and fenders are perfectly straight. I tried to cheat it but it just wouldn't work. It is bothering me enough that I was going to strip the hood and try to get it right. I discovered yesterday that the holes on the hood on the passenger side are drilled a bit crooked - from the factory btw and the cross member may also be a bit crooked. That, with the damaged front corner just doesn't allow for enough available adjustment. The easiest thing to do is to get another hood or say screw it.
Since I have some doors to paint, I may try to find another split hood for paint at the same time.
Hey Aaron, so much for no one saying anything huh.

loosen the battery tray and try again - Kevin said my panel alignment fell into perfect place when they disconnected the tray from the body panel - your experience may vary

The - hood - is - not - straight.
It was damaged more than I realized.

I understand - but other parameters go into the panel alignment at the corner as well, is all I am saying
- i.e. you might be able to creatively fudge

I wish I had thought of that. I might have even posted about it if I had. Oh right, I did.

That is the original set up we talked about. I kinda like it but having the Tuffy in there is "more betterer" for me
If you run across a nice split hood in Farmington when you are out there let me know
Heifer-net
There are some there.. I know of at least a few...
Tuffy is a must.. If not for tunes alone

that bench looks way too nice to hack it up - just my humble opinion
if you need to lock something in the truck, why not do that elsewhere in the rear ?

Paying attention to detail (paint color) goes a long way!! The pic of the seat was from someone else's build.

That isn't mine. As noted in the post. I posted the pic to assist an off-line converstation. You will note (if you read the thread) I have aftermarket seats and a Tuffy
