Thanks Blue! The vision to pull those body lines together is spectacular. Do you know the plans for the tailgate?

Re: My Blue 1957 build

Your hood mod is interesting. I have a 55 hood that the sandblasters messed up That I want to try section it. Did you tack weld the hood to your table before cutting just to keep it square ? Or what do you do. Thanks Rich

I didn't do the work. But yes it is attached to the table to keep it square. They made brackets off the table to attach the hood to it.

Re: My Blue 1957 build

This is my idea of a good afternoon. I got the hell out of work as soon as my class was over and headed to the body shop to see the progress on my truck. Then I went to the hot rod shop to help my dad finish bolting his front clip back together and got his doors hung back on the cab of his truck.
