Re: Wamego: 1949 GMC 150
front end time, you may remember it was bashed a bit.
![]() I have two GMC fenders and a nice GMC hood, but I really like keeping the sheetmetal with the cab it came with because it matches. I need to get the stuff pounded out at least enough to fit it all up, then have someone with more skill than my two dumbsticks tap it nicer. ![]() ![]() I have that spare grille I got at the swap meet earlier this year to fix this one. ![]() I have two sledges I use for bodyworking this old sheetmetal, works fast and great. imagine my surprise when chucking the long one up in the vise provided a great way to hold the fender to boot! ![]() ![]() when I needed something with a thin edge to get some creases back where they belong, the axe I havent used except for teenage daughter boyfriend threatening (uncle buck reference, no teenage boys were threatened) provided a great surface. ![]() not too shabby, looks like a fender again! ![]() got the pedal bracket in for a final test fit before grinding and painting. works perfect. the column is SO sturdy and I dont even have the bolts in anything except the booster! (that one extra bolt in the top is loose, needed it to get the booster in) ![]() ![]() ![]() found a mirror arm from my 65, should work great with that stainless mirror I didnt like on Hannah. ![]() speaking of hannah, she now is mostly weather tight and spends her days in the sun. ![]() ![]() more to come!
