Re: My 56 step by step
That clip install is beautiful.
Is that going to be a 2-link in the rear? In my area, that original patina is VERY valuable. Last edited by pbeguy; 11-25-2013 at 12:48 AM. Reason: Added info |

Re: My 56 step by step
Thank you pbeguy it is only the second one I have done the first was in about 1985 on a 58 chevy fleet side with a 1970 chevy impala front clip this one was like staring all over again I guess that dates me. The rear is a home made 2 link I have not completed it yet

Re: My 56 step by step
The frame came out real nice.
Do you do your own blasting? The cab looks real clean. Kim |

Re: My 56 step by step
Thank you
every one for your comments, I did have to replace the front cab corners and one rear corner I had a computer problem and lost all photos on it, lucky I still had some on a old desk top. The engine is build for show and no go it is around 300 hp on regular gas. |
