Re: 49 ls1

I got my cab corners from Classic Industries, and they didn't seem to fit too bad...but door gaps being how they are on these trucks I figured on having to modify them from the get go.

One thing I did notice is that the new cab corners were noticeably thicker than the originals I cut out, and not because of rust. I think that there is so much shape there that the original metal is thinner due to the original stamping. Since the smaller repair pieces are not as large, they do not undergo as much stretching to get to their final shape.

Looking good!
