Re: My 56 build
Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Finished rounding the cab where I rounded the door. Also managed to get a good amount of the hood done today. I’m really happy how it’s coming out!

Re: My 56 build
Few more pictures of the hood. It took 26 vertical cuts to maintain the shape up front. Last 2 pictures are before and after. I’m liking it

Re: My 56 build

it looks cool 'pancaked', but that is a lot of work, for a very subtle difference another great metal fabricator on this site.....

Re: My 56 build
Thinking about doing that when I get there. Started at rear bumper and working forward finishing everything as I go ready for paint kinda finish. My hood is a gmc so it has that hole for the emblem. By the time I get there my skills should be up to the task. How much did you cut out, just curious.

Re: My 56 build
I started with 1” but after reshaping the front to realign I was probably at 1 3/8”. I used 1” masking tape to lay it out.

Re: My 56 build
Mine is rusted here as well. I assume from battery acid fumes. Fortunately I had a complete other hood I could not sell and this area was good. So now I have a patch panel.
