Made progress last week! Painted the inside of the hood and radiator support, glad it’s under the hood it didn’t come out as good as I wanted but it’s good enough. Asked a neighbor for help to get it on and wet down the fender and hood to see what it will look like under clear and I like it. Still have lots of adjustments to get the fit right and plan to get that done this week.
While I was waiting on paint to dry I worked on the stereo, grill and glovebox. I got the radio and speakers from Jon Goodman and I am very pleased with how it turned out and it sounds great for a couple of small speakers.
This weekend I decided to see what it would take to mount up the rear sway bar. For the chassis swap I used and rear end from a 1999 4wd Chevy Blazer to gain 4” in width. I also got rear disc brakes with 3:73 gears (open diff) and took the rear sway bar set up while I was at it. After mounting it to the rear end I measured where it would land on the frame and fabed up some brackets and added a bushing for more support. Now that the paint is dry I mounted it up and geometry is spot on.
