Well we got alittle more bodywork done on cab today,,I was feeling sick all day felt like I was stuck in low gear, but O well some work is better then no work.

Re: back on the 1950 after 10 yrs being stopped
 

My truck uses a modified G-body (monte carlo, grand prix, grand national) frame in the front and rear. It was ugraded to air ride suspension. I also upgraded the 4 link trailing arms.

The progress looks great. That has to make you feel a little better.

2dwn4u, Looks great. The gaps look great too. Can not wait to see it all one color. They always look nice when they are all one shade.

I hope I can get my 56 looking that good. You're doing a fantastic job on the body. The three window is my favorite AD. Man that looks great!

Re: back on the 1950 after 10 yrs being stopped
 

Is your 56 underconstruction right now? any pics?

Re: back on the 1950 after 10 yrs being stopped
 

Yes, I just started to set the rear suspension up for the frame build. I ordered the steel on Friday. I'll be very busy for the next three weeks so I won't get started on the frame until early Feb.

Re: back on the 1950 after 10 yrs being stopped
 

Dude that truck is going to be sick with that set up, do you have a build thread?
