Re: My 56 step by step
Do you have any more photos of how you made the core support mounts at the front of the frame? Looks good!!

Re: My 56 step by step
To izonme13 I only have these two pics. I don't have much time to work on the truck and I am bad about stopping to take pictures. This is a 1979 El camino front clip it is hard to adapt, Mine is moved forward which makes every thing worse. My fab skills also need some work others on this board may have better ideas.

Re: My 56 step by step
I was able to get the frame painted over the long weekend it has a little to much shine but it should die down some.

Re: My 56 step by step
the frame paint is nason chassis black it is to glossy for me so after the paint tacked up I sprayed on a mist coat that helped kill some of the shine

Re: My 56 step by step
Wow, looks good to me.
What are your plans for the controls usually on the dash? A center console, or something else? If so, will you custom make one or adapt an existing one?

Re: My 56 step by step
Thanks, for the positive comments. I am going to build a center console but not sure how or out of what. That's the way it works for me. One day I will just build it. I may also use some of the old dash space.
