Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Grill frame blasted and ready for primer. I had welded up the holes for the old running/signal lights.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
This pic show how I shortened the bumper brackets to pull it closer to the grill.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
The front bumper (which I'm using) has been shortened 3" per side, and top cut down by 1", and bumper bolts heads cut off and bolts welded.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I welded the bumper bolts flush with face, then welded the back side, then a large washer was welded to help distrubute the load, and not pull thru.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Grill frame and one bar installed to check fit. Here you can see I have cut the fender. I removed about 1/8" of material, moved out, and welded to maintain a good gap with hood.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
A cover I made to hide some of the ugly around the radiator.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Now I'm starting on my preliminary interior set-up. I try to get as much stuff done ahead of time, before I do my final stuff on the cab, in case I need to weld, etc. This is the formed corner for the cab.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here it has been installed. You can see that I'm using my bracing for attachment points for the interior. If you look close you can see the screws going into the brace.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
With the center piece installed. Once everything is covered in material, it will be hard to see the screws. The coverplate at the corner, is for my inside lift handle for the door latch. I know this looks like wainscoting for the kitchen, but with material applied it will look like pleats.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I like the interior a lot. It also gives me some ideas as the interior will be one of the last things that I do.
Where did you get the arm rests from? I like where you are going with this. Marc
