Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Worked on the inner wheel wells this weekend. I have the drivers side done(metal work). I have to mount it in the back to the frame. I keep the same theme as the fire wall. The wheel wells match up the angles on the fire wall. Here are the pictures.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
99 to Life. Yes, it was too cheap to let it slide by. I thought it would be great for the father, kids project. They always come into the garage to see what I am working on.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
oldman3. Yes all 3 of them seem to like the old cars. They like to go to the car shows with me. I have a 1954 chevy diecast car on my dresser and my middle daughter told me that see wanted one of those when she was older. My other daughter and my son both like the old trucks like the dad. Now my wife just tells me that they are old cars, I think she must have been dropped alot when was little!

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Shannon, finally got the time to check out you entire post. Man the work you do is out of sight. Beds, boards, and love all the panel work. Your panel is going to be killer when done. Wish I had some metal working equipment, so I could try

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
99 to Life, I know ,that is the worst part about the trucks. They should have lowered the step in the cowl and then formed the back edge of the hood with a 90 degree bend. That would have stiffened it up.
oldman3, Thank you . It did work very well. Shannon |

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
Well I now have the hood fixed in the front. Ended up making most of the very front edge. It now matches up to the grill now. Next was to DA the paint off. I found a few surprises under the paint. A some dents, Bondo and a few rust holes. I borrowed a set of 20 inch wheels to see what it would look like. Here are the pictures.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
the 20's look plenty big enough. Nice. I was curious if they would look to small on these trucks. Glad i was proven wrong!! Are you gonna shave the emblems? or put them back on?

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
oldman3,BlueJeep,Layedoutsonoma91,custom86,
Thank you all for the great comments. The owner is going with a set of 15 inch wheels but I wanted to see what they would look like. I want to put 20 inch wheels on my panel and borrowed them from a buddy to see if they will fit and not rub anywhere. The owner is not sure about side emblems but I am going to leave the front one. custom86, I do not think they make these wheels anymore. I checked there website and they do not list them. |
