Re: New Guy on the block..1956 Chevy Build
Seems like the easiest way is to open an "photobucket" account. Load youre pictures there, and then copy their url code and post that here
Its a bit of a hassle, but once you have figuerd it out its easy
Good luck!

Bernman (Bernie?)

I'm coming back very late to your thread, I hope you don't mind questions you may have answered and I missed. What are the three holes above the heater panel in the cab?

What Mustang II manufacturer are you using and are you happy with the figment, gauge of the metal, etc?

Everything looks really good for far. Did you have the entire cab sandblasted? It looks nice and clean.

The three holes was for switches......gone now filled them in. The hub to hub was from full tilt street rods. I liked the fit it worked out just fine for me.

The cab was just a lot of wire wheeling and paint remover.

Hey Jim you are correct, I ended up putting them at more of an upright angle by adding more tubes to the cross bar. I think they are at 60 degress now if I remenber.
