Re: My 57 Pro Street
That is a stupendous amount of work. It all looks like it paid off. Great looking truck. I didn't like the bed until I saw it on the truck with fenders, and it looks pretty awsome.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
"took a chance" dude your like macgyver doing fab work. That bed is one of my favorite parts of this forum. I cant wait to see what you come up with "using only a coat hanger, a scrap piece of 3/4 and an emergency brake cable, he creates an exhaust cut out" Seriously you have skills and its awesome how you make it work.

Thanks Jim.
The F**d is my brothers. He doesn't have enough room at his place so the body is here while we get the frame together at his place. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Are you going to narrow or profile the bumper at the ends to keep the same gap as it turns the corner?

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I have to use whats available and they were nice and wide.
I set the front tires in them when I was doing my hood and needed extra room to crawl under and get up in the engine compartment. thanks. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Nice going! I'm going make brackets for my bumper that weld on just to clean up the bumper, I will probably leave it the original way. If I ever get to my bumper.. Thanks for the idea

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Looks great so far. I would be going nuts if i did all the mods you are doing. I am a "blow and go" kind of guy with no patience.
Thanks for the bumper mod, i will do something similar for mine without welding brackets to the bumper. The bumper bolts let mine look semi original. Thanks for sharing your ideas. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Wow man, I just spent the better part of the day (on and off) reading your whole thread. I love the bed, it had to take lots of guts to even attempt this and it came out killer!!!! The sectioning of the hood took huge balls too!!!!! I dig the firewall and straight dash as well. Awesome creativity and imagination! I feel like I need to step up my game now ;~)
