Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Nice looking build.
I recall someone putting a fuel door in the front door jamb. IIRC, it was a Haapala ride.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Not much done yesterday other than getting the panel mobil in the shop. Got the extrawide axle out and dropped the panel on a little narrow trailer. Then rigged a way to lift and swing the front around. Works but sure looks funny. Now it should be easy to move out and work on it and then push it back out of the way.
Little trailer Front rig In it's new little home. Did get he fuel take out.

Today busy helping with planting on the farm so just a lot of measuring for the frame notches. Got a good plan on what I'm needing to do.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
that is a bad panel. I read the artical when it was in custom classic trucks or classic trucks. one of those two. NICE. Lots of mods to it. Roof line is one of them.
DUUUUU That is from classic trucks. I read it in the mag. Last edited by LOW DOUGH; 05-27-2009 at 01:52 PM. |

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
I think early 50's chevy car before the tri-5's. Could be wrong.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Jared, I'm glad to see the panel is at least rolling now.....
I really like that fuel filler idea posted above, definitely clean and sleek.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
I've seen them done on a burb before. I'll see if I can find the link. They did a lot of work to make them look good. Little bit too much $$$ for me plus the work to make them look good.
