Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Well it has been a good day, for the most part it is put together. I have a few nuts and bolts under the truck that need tightened up and the doors need to have the bolts put in and lined up and the hood needs bolted on. Then it is ready for storage. Here are some pictures.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
oldman3,Thank you. Yes I do not like to see it go. I would have like to have finished what I was to do, but I know how things are and this is an expensive hobby. There will be more projects and maybe get to work on mine.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
youngrodder, Thank you. I tried to make them fit the firewall with the lines. I think I will make a set for my panel when I get back to working on it. I love your truck. The colors look great.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Well, what a weekend. It started on Saturday with snow. We never get snow this early and I think it set a record. Then on Sunday the owner of the 54 came to get there truck. It came in pieces and left as a roller. I texted them to see if they got home alright and they did. Then she said that she steered it off the trailer and in the garage and had a smile all day long. So when I get to finish it I will get back to posting on it again. It was a sad day , you get attached to projects when you build them. I have a 48 truck I am going to be working on next and I will probably do a build on it and sometime a build on the panel. So stay tuned.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
I can't believe I just spotted this thread. Awesome work!
It's probably too late to ask now, but any info on your motor mounts would be appreciated.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
63 & 64 Bowties. Yes it is that way. That way I did not have to tear the springs and a arms out to get to the bolts. I could also place it better.
