No metal work here.......just strip, prime, and paint.............this truck is in great shape. The only filler in the body is where I welded in factory holes that weren't needed......................

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Well I noticed that my post has fallen off of the 1st page............made me think that I need to post a few pics. Here are a few of the latest pics, been doing a lot of the tedious task like preping and painting. Hopefully we can make a little more progress shortly..............

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Well just a quick update on the progress.................seems like it has been a long time since I have posted on here. Anyway, I am still working on all the tedious, time consuming things that have to be done. I hope to have the front all back together by this weekend and finish the wiring. Here are a couple of current pics.....................

Yes I did.........I used it on the other one also. The only problem that I found with the triangulated, and the 9" ford rear, is that if you lower your ride it protrudes up through the bed.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Excellent work, and great pics for documentation. Question, what wire harness setup are you using?

I've got to say, that'll be one fine "TOE TRUCK"!

Thanks for the compliments........I am using the American Autowire #500481.......first time I have used their product. It is a very complete kit. Includes an ignition switch, light switch, and a lot of other goodies that competitors don't provide. I have only used painless in the past and I really am partial to their product, however, I feel that this kit offers more than painless.............and I would not hesitate to use them again...........
