Oh Yes...very nice.  Looks like you have some great weather there.  Still getting well below freezing here at night, but not bad in the daytime.

I have a question for you, maybe more than one.  Are your rear fenders stock width or are they widened?

And are you able to actually step on to your running boards to get into the car?  I haven't pulled mine off yet but at least on the driver's side I think the brackets must be shot.  I remember seeing quite a few of the car guys who put a little sign on their step plates "No Step".  Not sure if that was just for the Show 'N Shines, or all the time.

Thanks.  Well, everything will be coming off the car down to the bare frame so I imagine I will need to fab some new ones.

 Nice car.Did you change the stock headlights over to sealed beam or halogen,or do they have the stock bulbs? I'm going to use the stock 28 lights on mine,but I would like halgen bulbs. May not be possible, and if not I'll just find a 12v bulb that will work.
