Re: Kick panels
Then do it. Cut several pieces of cardboard and trim them to fit the Sill, the Sill Extension, and around the bottom side of the tank. Then tape them together and there is your pattern.

Re: Opinion Re Differential Gear Ratio
Bob, I think with the right camshaft and engine package, a 3.27 will be just fine. I have installed both 3.54 and 3.27 gear sets in customer's vehicles. The biggest thing I think that dictates...
