Re: Dunce's 59 Fleetside build

Making a little progress...

-got my gas tank mocked up. Used one from Tanks and relocated a couple frame rails to frame it in. Added plates on top and used straps connected to the cross members to hold it in place. Plan to have the filler right it in the bed floor.
-Did some work on the wheel tubs. Out of 4 I had one decent one and 1 that was a candidate for repair. Blasted, tried to knock out the bigger dents, fixed some holes and replaced the flange one of them.
-Decided to go with a roll pan on the rear instead of bumper. My plan is to route the exhaust out the back through the pan on the bottom. The roll pan needs something else.. pretty bland but beats the ugly ass bumper as far as I'm concerned.
-Started mocking up my camaro clip. I'm close now.. few more tweaks and I'll tack it in.

Look like a '67 Camaro rear bumper. Those look pretty nice on fleetsides.
