Re: My 49 Chevy build under destruction.

Tubs Done but still need to do some cleanup and make metal frame around the bed floor.

Motor and tranny is sitting in the truck but screwed up need to switch motor mounts side to side ooooops lol.

Gauges getting freshened up some

My idea on the valve covers got botched for now one of them was a staggered bolt didn't realize that until I was done bead blasting them pissed me off.

Re: My 49 Chevy build under destruction.

Getting a bunch of little things done like wring and small paint stuff.
What ya think of the flat black with Chevrolet in rust added still need to make darker in spots and clear coat them, I think it will be different and cool looking.
