Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?

The work is incredible! The snow, not so much.

Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?
Found some more pictures you guy's and Gal's might enjoy....Different way to do a graft but seems to work. It's of o a 67Chev 1/2ton. The reason I widened the front fenders, will likely have to widen rear fenders as well. Will also have to wait till motor and rad are mounted to see how much the front springs compress.

Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?
It's been awhile since I have been on here, house project is taking more time then I figured on. Have to wait till spring and see what falls out of the snow....Keep the shiny side down and keep working on something....Roy

Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?
I fully understand. If home repair costs don't kill ya, trying to get materials, appliances and labor will. We waited for 4 months to get a dishwasher and now 2 months trying to get the house (cabin) painted.
My 98% complete Ad sits in its new garage ready to run. Even then i have been reluctant to drive it since the wheels fell off the country. |

Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?
I can relate to what you say....Not sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate ....I do pp% of my own repairs...from plumbing, electrical, Flooring, Drywall, Put new windows in 2 winters ago, still have not finished the framing of the sills and stuff.....Money pit....But no I'm not bitter, we knew what we where getting into just not this deep.....Unfortunatly most of my equipment is 240volts and my garage only has 1 15amp circuit to run the complete shop....That's on the to do list for spring.....I hope.

Good to hear from you.
Work on it when you can, and keep us posted, as your metalwork skills are amazing.

Re: 52 Chev Panel....repairable?
Just go spend 30 mins goofing around on it. There's always 30 minutes of work to be done somewhere for free.
Then do it again tomorrow.
