Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

[CC69Rat]

Heres the bedside I mentioned a few posts up. .. and my plans to fix it. I have an exact copy of what you see in the blue / red being bent now to factory GM specs. ( A local fab place called S&H Erectors is making it for us.) They have the correct metal brake to make that 'pressed bend' look. The stake pocket is bent in such a way a normal 45 deg bend just doesn't look right. The red lines are cuts, blue lines are bends. I made the yellow piece and it's ready to tack back in place. Hopefully we'll have the other piece ready to finish weld in a couple days.

Dad made up a cardboard template of what you see here, realizing that back piece doesn't come all the way up.. I just want it to be a touch long so I can cut it perfectly / fine tune it using the old piece I cut out. Hopefully you'll never know it has been replaced
