Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks guys for the comments!
Getting the doors back together and seat in, I had to pull the gas tank out several times to solder up pin holes that kept popping up but got that all done now! wiring finished and dash back together. I got the engine started up last weekend and man that dude runs so sweet and smooth, can't even feel it vibrate! sure don't build em like this anymore! |

Installed the OEM tag, this is how I got the rivets to open up inside, worked real good and looks factory!

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Got the bed back from the painter, started assembling it back together looking great.
And installed this stainless steel exhaust system and took her for a ride around the block for the first time, what a real joy to drive, everything went really smooth! |

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
That blue looks sharp! Can't tell if your windows are tinted or not, but IMO that bright of blue would look really nice with black tinted windows. It would be a nice contrast! Truck looking good!!
