Re: Dutch 1955 build

just got the front tires and put them on tonight and balanced them out.



and started on the final assembly of the bed and wood




my dad is working on the fenders, doors and hood, to prep them for paint.

Re: Dutch 1955 build

well it begins to look like a pickup now
got the bed on the chassis

it took me abouth 2 hours to fasten the 8 bed bolts because some one had the clever idea to box the whole chassis
so i had a hard time putting the nuts on tru the dimple holes
