Roadkill's 58 Chevy Stepside

[Roadkill58]

It only took those yahoos a year to get the shop up. Still waiting on some trim to be installed under the eaves.

Someday I will rent a scissor lift and install the lighting.

The Liftmaster was worth every penny. Just ask my wife.

Exhaust is almost finished. Need to complete the hangers and finish the tail pipes.

I didn't have too many choices on the routing, but I can live with it.

looks great, gonna have lots of room.
make sure to protect the tank and the bed wood from the exhaust heat. you prolly have that planned already, just saying in case others didn't think of that.
is that Camaro the parts car? haha.

I thought there was enough room until my wife bought herself a GMC Canyon.

Now my GMC has to live outside again.

On the heat shield I was thinking of going to Pick and Pull to see what they
have under some of the trucks. If they don't want too much I will get some.

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make some.

Maybe that Camaro has some heat shield it could live without?

I used the stock heat shield for my exhaust, classicparts has them for $6.50 or as you said easy to make you own. https://www.classicparts.com/1947-72...ctinfo/16-205/. In the pic you can just see the shield, I painted mine. I used short wood screws into my wood floor. Hope this helps...Jim

Thanks for the pic Jim.

Guess I was over thinking it.

I have an Escalade roof somewhere around here doing nothing.

It's been awhile since I've logged on.

The wife is "essential" so she gets to work from home. She goes into the office on Wednesdays. I really like Wednesday now.

I now have supervised honey do's.

Haven't worked on the truck in awhile. See above.

Both bathrooms are remodelled. Currently building a sewing room for the wife.

I am being falsely accused of offering parts for sale.

I did not offer any parts for sale, period.

I only asked if he needed anything.

I did not write about a sale, or a trade.

Nothing was negotiated on the forum. There was no negotiations, period.

I suspect this will get deleted also.

As a witness to that thread I saw nothing leading to a sale or trade .
Just a statement "I have some 46 parts if you need anything ."

I can see where this could have gone when the other party asked " What do you have ?"

The appropriate place that should have been asked is in a PM .

The banter before all that was like a conversation so I can see how it would just keep going .

No Harm just an Opps

Feel free to PM me if there is an issue. No one accused you of anything. You were asked a question by a staff member. You answered. Move on. Thanks
