Re: My 57 Pro Street
That's gonna look so good when it's done and worth all that work. I keep looking at mine and wanting to take the plunge.
Nice job. -Aaron

Re: My 57 Pro Street
With the Holidays over I was finally able to spend a little time in the garage on the truck.
Made these to seal off the cab corners. just need to do a little more trimming and then weld them in. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I need to work on the cab bottom so this is what i came up with.
Modified my cab dolly and strapped it to the back of the cab and used my engine hoist and the help of a neighbor to flip it. I moved the ratchets to the inside of the cab incase I need to remove them. Now the fun starts. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
thanks guys.
It set the cab so high I had trouble getting it back in the garage when I tipped it up. It does make it much easier to work on though. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
You are so clever! Surely you had someone helping you??
I've probably asked this, but what color scheme are you going with? dne'

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I have a bunch of small holes to weld up in the floor of my cab so I came up with this to make it a little easier.
Took an old C clamp and attached it to a strong magnet and epoxied a piece of copper to it. Not sure how the epoxy will last with the heat. If it comes off the pressure alone will hold the copper to the area I need to weld. Kim |
