Hola Capelo,
Ellos no entienden sus palabras "bell corner" - "Rincon de campana"?
Tiene una foto?

Como estas alla en Espana? Estas casi listo con su camioneta!!

Gracias Ben , necesito un poco de ayuda para comunicarme ya que no se las expresiones correctas.
Los guardabarros los he puesto lo mas delante posible , parece que no tienen mucho margen debido al tornillo superior que las une a la cabina,
sobre el capo lo intento colocar lo mas atrás posible pero aun no se ajusta en las esquinas delanteras( pondré fotos) y me preguntaba si las barras que trae bajo el capó sirven para ajustar? .
En la parte delantera del lado del condutor el capo me queda alto y no se el motivo y en la parte del acompañante sobre sale unos 5mm .
Gracias.

 

 

Hi Guys,
Capelo is having some challenges getting his hood adjusted just right.


"The fenders are pushed to the front as much as is possible but there isn't much room owing to the screw above that is hitting the cab. My intent is to move it further back but I can't adjust it in the corners (see fotos). My question is - Are the bars/poles below the Hood for adjusting?


In the Front on the driver's side the screw or bolt remains high
& I don't know how to move that part - It's 5mm off. "
---------------------------------------------------


That's the best I can do translating from afar. Basically Capelo is having trouble getting his hood aligned & he doesn't know the correct process.

Yes, the bars under the hood can be used, but go steady, a little at a time!

 

Hello. After a few hours and after adjusting rods hood to much improved, it is not perfect but it will have to make do, I put pictures:

 

Wow!!!

I would say, that is pretty damn good!! based on the pictures.

I would think that fitment is better than from factory.

Nice work!!

What rods did you adjust?

Rods under the hood? and rods from cowl to front fender corners?

 

thanks. Rods under the hood

 

I would say that's pretty damed good as well!!! Keep in mind it's not a Lexus or infinity!

 

Well done Capelo, looks great.

 

Really looks nice now. Probably won't be able to get it to today's standards.

 

That looks perfect to me. The factory fitment was probably nowhere near that close.

 

Wow!! I agree with everyone else, probably better than factory.
Your truck is just beautiful.

 

Greetings to all, these days I'm working with the last piece left for me to restore the grill, I put photos. I first removed all the rust and welded all holes. After epoxy primer, polyester putty first by hand and then with gun.

 

You do awesome work. But I have said this before. Some like me
just get in to big of a hurry to get er done. But you my friend take
the extra time and go for perfection. I envy your patience and craftsmanship.
