68 4-door "Sleeper"
Today's report...
My TTI headers came in today. I finger-tightened the bolts just to see what it looked like. These are some quality pieces. I highly recommend them.
I also received my polished stainless steel valve cover bolts. Once again, very nice quality pieces. My only complaint... the metal is a little soft. Of course, I HATE allen head anything.
I started to cut out the fenderwells for the hemi head clearance. First, I measured to the top of the AlterKtion K frame to get my starting point. Then, I used a sharpie and a ruler to mark the cut lines.
I started the cut with a cut off tool.
Then, I used an air saw to make the cuts. This makes some really nice cuts.
When it came to the factory shock supports, the air saw couldn't handle it. I got out the sawz-all with the 6 inch blade to cut through them.
When it was all finished, it looked like this...
The top of the shock tower was spot welded to the fenderwell so, I cut out the spot welds.
That's all that I was able to accomplish today in the 2 hours that I can safely work (before the wife starts to nag.)
