Re: New 1958 Project
Cab looks great. Judging by how the PO cut the hole for the master cylinder makes me wonder if he didn't own my truck before I got it. His cutting style looks familiar, LOL.

At least now the patch panels are decent, years ago I had to make replacement parts, much more labor intensive
Your project is looking great.

Re: New 1958 Project
slow going for sure, mocked up bulkhead to run heat and A/C lines behind inner fenders, got floor and firewall painted, hope to get rest of inside of cab painted this weekend, then I can wire it for good, still hoping to drive it on the driveway and down the side streets at house to find any gremlins prior to painting the front end, a few photos
