Well, this really isn't with posting, but I got to use the shop for a few hours yesterday. I removed the inner fender, after removing the wiring for horn and cruise control.
Pic 1 shows the tire side of inner cleaned up. Pic 2 shows the engine side of inner cleaned up. Pic 3 shows were the fender was bent. Pic 4 shows another view. I plan on cutting this bent part off, and adding a new piece from the repop inner fender. Hope it will come out looking good. |

I spent the rest of my time cleaning up the frame and front suspension.
Pic 1 Before shot Pic 2 and 3 after shot. The paint has really held up good, for the past 12 years and 25,000 miles. Till next time...Jim |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Truck cleaned up well Jim. Anticipate when you finish sectioning the inner fender no one will be able to tell.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looks like new. Can't believe it has 25000 miles on it. My trucks get dirtier than that after a couple of months sitting in the shop.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well people the reason for no update on my truck, is I've been busy painting in the house. Plus I have agreed to help a friend install a Lokar shifter and indicator; and FiTech efi; and cruise control on his 71 Olds Cutlass. There are a few electrical things that also need attention. Plus I've been changing over my florescent tubes to LED tubes. I did a right up on what I had to do, if you want to check it out, heres the link; http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=726577 I will get started on mine soon I promise...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Your truck is still looking great after the 25,000 miles Jim. I just hope mine will look as good when I reach that many. Looking forward to seeing you get it back together.

Well, was finally able to get out to the shop for a little work on the inner fender.
Pic 1 Thought about cutting in the bend for more strength and less warping, but Mark pointed out that the fender was also tweaked behind the fender brace, so I cut it back farther where it was OK. |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Pic 1 New inner fender, marked for cutting back farther, so it can be trimmed to fit the old inner.
Pic 2 Have a good 3/4 section of left inner fender. |
