Re: My 56 build
A picture of the wood finished. I also plan on using some matching wood in the interior.

Re: My 56 build
Fabricated some cup holders. I figured this would take a couple hour. I only underestimated that by about 6 hours. The first one took 5 attempts. They have a slight taper which made it more difficult.

Re: My 56 build
Also installed my new seat belts. For the shoulder anchor I welded a nut to a 3x6” 14 gauge plate. Then fished them up with some welding wire and spot welded them in place. Worked well!

Re: My 56 build
Little more progress today. Working on the interior door panels. Welded a tab to the door to anchor the handles to. You can see the plate I put in the handle in the second picture that bolts to the tab. Also finished installing the door slinkys (as I call them) for the door wiring.

Re: My 56 build
Very nice work! Those door pulls on the panels are going to be sweet.

Re: My 56 build
Decided to weld in a matching dimple for the push button start. Harvested one from a section of the dash I cut out. Also spent hours tweaking the passenger door. When the doors didn’t fit from the factory to begin with, it’s amazing how difficult they are to fit properly. Hopefully going to prime everything else tomorrow before I start laying filler.

Re: My 56 build
Correct… they are AC vents. Here’s a picture of what they look like installed.

Re: My 56 build
One last thing before I prime. I haven’t been happy with the hidden latches in the tailgate. The way they stuck out, I know I or someone else would chip the paint where they made contact. So I moved them further in and built a small ramp so the gate latches when I close it. Problem solved

Re: My 56 build
Good catch on the latches. Those were definitely a future paint chip waiting to happen! Those ramps blend nicely.

Re: My 56 build
will you have a rubber bumper for the gate to rest against when closed?
you could install a "striker slipper plate" of stainless to cover the painted ramp you made, then the rubbing area on the ramp would always look good because there would be no paint to scratch as the latch striker pin moves up to the latch hole. a piece of teflon may also work well. just a thought. something you could screw on so it is replaceable. nice work so far, great attention to the little details. |

Re: My 56 build
Thanks slammed. You must be getting close to painting. I’m starting to lay body filler this weekend. Today I primed everything I had left in bare metal. Here’s a couple pictures
