Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Was fighting the left front fender trying to get it right, idea came a long how about a come-along!!! Also primed the passenger door, side view looks good. Man this door took a lot of time.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Installed the passenger side door today noticed that top of door had about 1/4 inch gap larger than the drivers side door. It wasn't the adjustment just made that way from GM. I just happen to have a strap the same width of the difference so out came the MIG Welder. Here are the results the pics are of both door gaps to compare. I wouldn't have welded the darn thing on but it was very obvious and it look horrible to me. I am happy with it just more dang body work!

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Your fix came out nice.
Don't you just love the door gaps on these old trucks? Kim |

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Did you ever get a good size tire combo that fit your truck?

I couldn't stand original mirror stand so I chopped them re-welded and sanded them down, also picked some new Whitewalls

Re: 56 Chev Garage build
Decided to change color on the rally wheels figured the 2 inch whitewalls wouldn't look good against the silver rims
