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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I had a neighbor help with the flip but it did go real easy.
I'm planning on a light metallic blue at this time.

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.
