    What is the best way to "roll" the edge of the fender. Obviously, its pretty sharp now and I know I will cut myself or cut up a tire.

    a guy in the scout club is pretty good at baseball bat fender rolling, I don't know the exact procedure, but it turns out pretty good.

    that requires that it be close to the tire.

    I think the bat is for rolling a current lip, not making a new one when you hacked the piss out of your fenders.

    Where do you live John? Working on it tomorrow?

    Finished the other side today. I was able to pull alot of the fender out. It was pretty smashed in.

    As for tires, I think with the BS on the H1s, I really shouldn't go much wider than 12.5, so I think I might go with 38x12.5 SXs. You can see on the pic of the pass. side the area of the inner wheel well that the tire rubs. I really wish they made a 40 or 42 SX though.

    As for the front fenders, that will be a little harder. How does one got about narrowing the front? I have seen a couple that section out the middle of the core support and pull the fenders in.

    The Clarke procedure for narrowing front.

    Remove fenders.
    Aimlessly hack away at whatever wires you dont like the color of.
    Tear truck apart and start over
    On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"

    All cylinders were 125-150ish except #8, which was 90-100ish. The oil was a little milky, but I've seen worse. It did smell a little bit of gasoline though. Kinda unsure as to what I am going to do next.

    pulled the motor today...

    ordered a shortblock that will be here Thursday. I have a line on some sweet heads, but they might be too much $$. I might settle and find some rebuilt GT40 heads. Other than that and a nice cam, it will stay pretty stock.


    not as bad as dexter or 218, but getting there...

    You planning on re skinning it, or tubing the front?
