Re: 54 Chevy Truck.... left to die

It has been a little bit since I have posted anything on here. I took the Holidays off from the my truck to save a little money. Then my work and the really nasty winter we have had here in Indiana has slowed my progress on the truck. But I really itching to get back on the build. I have been ordering body panels and now I have picked up a motor for the truck.

Re: 54 Chevy Truck.... left to die

Thanks pvienneau... I will try to start posting more of the before pictures. I am getting ready to start cutting on the passenger side cab corner. The cab is slowly starting to be less rot and more good metal.

Re: 54 Chevy Truck.... left to die

Looks good from up here in Canada. What's not perfect about it? More filler than you wanted?

Re: 54 Chevy Truck.... left to die

Thanks FarmerSid! It is hard to see in the picture but it is a little wavy on the edge. I sanded it down a couple of times and finally decided to move on.
