    Pro-tip -- while the manifold is disassembled, you can get ALL of the yellowed cosmoline off by using Aircraft Stripper. It's available in aerosol at most any auto parts stores. Clean/dry, then shoot down the top, let it work for 10 or 15, hose off. It will look like a brand new freshly cast intake. I've done a few. Don't get any on your skin..

    • @snailspeedprojects292
      @snailspeedprojects292 Рік тому

      On the front fender there are 2 plastic brackets (have to drill holes in the fender as original), then there are holes in the rocker panel that match holes in the side skirt. There are plastic clips that go into the side skirt and then the whole thing clips into the rocker panel holes. There are also plastic grommets that go into the holes in the rocker panel. At the back there 2 holes in the arch lip and the side skirt is clipped in with two plastic push rivets. At the bottom there are plastic clamps that hook onto the rocker panel and screw into the side skirt tabs. One screw that holds the front fender in the bottom.
