Kim!
Good to see an update again!!

You don't have to pull yourself down at the work you do, you do amazing work!!
I'm not good at bodywork and it shows, but yours look just great in my eyes!!
Love to see it with fenders on, I think it looks cool!!

Hope your body keeps up with you and see regular updates again!!

Bed is same length as a stock short bed. I think the angle makes it look shorter.

Just a few pics on how my bed looks on the truck.
Only one fender on as I'm still working on the other one.

Hey Kim, nice bed for sure. great sheet metal work, very creative. I may have missed it along the way, but what color are you painting the truck? Also, what size wheels will you have on the backside? Looks great

Those are some deep wheels you have.

Will you be able to use stock steps, or do you have to modify them?

Would be a small miracle if I make it next year. Seems life always has a way to slow down the truck work.

great choice of color, love blue.
those are some hogs for sure. got that very size on my streetrod. Stay away from any Mickey Thompson street slicks, if you get caught in a rain, you'll be sliding on down the road for sure. I use Hoosiers Pro street tires. Good luck

Just been working on getting the bodywork done.
Pics would be kinda boring.
Apply filler, sand off filler, apply more filer and sand.
Getting pretty close to having it all pretty decent then I will post some pics.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

haha, thats funny,
apply filler, sand filler off. sounds like me. apply a small dab of filler, sand off a small mountain of dust. seems like more comes off than what went on in the first place.
with your history I am sure it will look awesome. waiting on the pics.
will you be using a step on your custom box?

No step planned at this time but that may change.
