Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
It all takes me way to long. That's why I made my living as a mechanic. I always beat flat rate. With body work I couldn't. But when I see some of the so called professionals work, I do pretty good. But still takes me too long.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I have the patience for body work. It just takes me too long. I want it to come out perfect. To me it's like sculpture. It's an Art. You can't rush Art.
Who the hell is Art?. Art who?

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Looks like you are on the right track now. You don't know how PO'd i get when I hear about shops ripping people off. Its hard enough to stay in business and then have companies doing shoddy work and thieves to boot. We have plenty of them in the Houston area to. I've heard this kind of stuff for years now. You generally get what you pay for however sometimes this kind of crap happens. That door looks like it was someones first attempt at welding and I would have fired the person that did that. That was not a body shop it went to.

Thanks for posting the pics. It really helps. The grill looks great. About to bring in the parts truck and get the cab off. If all goes well.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Looks like it's coming along nicely. I wish I had an extra car at this point so I could start a tear down.

I did get the parts truck cab off the of the frame along with straightening up the shop. At least when you bring your cab I can sit it on the parts truck frame to mock everything up. I was too pooped to do anything else tonight.

Alan if that cab was a BBW I would take it off your hands. My cab is almost trashed!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
At the LA Roadster Show Swap Meet I saw a 56 Chevy dash for only $60.00 I was tempted, but didn't buy it. Now that I'm thinking about it, I should have. I already have a billet gauge housing for after market gauges left over from my 56 Belair.
Check out the LA Roadster Show pictures. Lots of trucks were there. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...36#post3373336
