Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

These pics are BEFORE a cut and buff. That shine will be blinding afterwards...Looking good.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

Do you have any pics showing the hinge setup on the front of the bed floor? Also do the actuators pivot or are they fixed? I'm wanting to do something similar but not sure on the hinge setup in the front. Thanks for any info.
