Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Well got a little done today.
I didn’t want the normal 2x4 notch so I designed my own to mimic a stretched stock frame. Also I have to make a huge notch to get it down on the rockers with the 20’s. Had a 12” and 6” x 10’ flat steel and ended up having to make each side in 2 pieces. So made a template out of 1/4” plywood and made it 1/4” smaller on all sides. Called up a friend that just got a new miller plasma cutter that he let me use. Nice friend, he hasn’t even used it yet. Man I’ve got to get a plasma cutter those things are sweet. Got home and welded the 2 together and mocked it up in the panel. Here are the pics.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Thanks Nate.
Short day for me so didn't want to pull the panel out. Ended up breaking down the grills and trying to decide if I want to keep the boo b's or not. Need to take out about 4" of the heavy chevy grill to fit. rest of the day was farm work.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
That will look pretty slick!
From your avy, I like the grille without the bb's, it gives it something different.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Thanks, it's getting harder to come up with ideas that people have not done before and I think this grill is something new.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Got off work early today so did a little more cutting today.
Shocked to see the insides with so much primer. And a little jump on the frame notch.

6-13
Got one side almost done before I cut out the old. This part was a pain with 3/16.
