dunno if you've shaved handles befor or not so imma suggest a lil some some.... take a straight edge and make sure those fillers are flush with the body or you will be having to fill it in.... and that might make it look like arse hole.... if you've shaved befor you already know that

never shaved before. thanks for the heads up. i took 'em to my friend and he said he can make 'em work. he's good at what he does and he's been teachin me alot. i might try and cut a few more just to git 'em a lil closer.

UPDATE!!!!

well finally got around to it! i took out 2 of the leafs today on each side. pretty easy, wish ida tried it sooner. but it all went smooth and i dropped her back down and theres ALOT LESS wheel gap now.

test fit one of my new rims after gittin em machined and it fit perfect. income tax was supposed to be here today (again ) and i was gonna go git all the parts to have it driveable this week. looks like i'm waitin some more.

GOT AN EXHUAST! went to advance and got a flex pipe hahahahaha. put it on the header and put a cherry bomb behind it. its just temporary so i can start drivin it instead of the caprice. hopefully here soon have a real full exhuast.

ok well i was busy this week. can't believe i didn't take pictures. course i was working completely alone again. got the new rear end cleand up and painted and put under, new bedliner in and the trucks runnin alot better.

50k mile rear end. took the wire wheel too it and it is BEAUTIFUL. got it painted up all black and shiny. was a pain in the ass doin it on gravel. the geniuses that towed it sed 'leave the keys in it' well that translates too 'your battery gonna be dead cuz we're not smart' they left my key on when they dropped it off (i wasn't home at the time) so my truck sat there til the next day and drained the battery.

got the rear end under and botled up to the springs and couldn't git the springs to move forward to the shackles up front. called my neighbor. he pulls up, "i can't see my old ladies truck from here!" walks out into my backyard and watches his house for about 5 min then jumps in his truck and leaves! WTF?! but my old man helped me and i got it all in and went to pull it forward so i could bleed the brakes in the garage. THATS when i found out b out the keys. oh well its all done now.

also regapped all my plugs, checked all my timing and everything, painted the header (gonna need it powdercoated) and thats pretty much it. sorry no pictures.

later y'all.
