Re: My 57 Pro Street
I was just looking at my truck today and wondering why they have that indented section on the back of the cab and thinking to myself how it would look to smooth it out. After seeing your cab pics it looks great.You have some great skills. Looks awesome

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Man, you've been at this since '08. I just took some time to review, yet again, your build. Consistently great work. The real beauty of this site is the fact that we can review other guy's builds for reference and motivation....especially you more accomplished fabricators. Keep it coming. Thx dug

Life has a way of slowing down progress but I'm going to keep at it. Basically been doing body work and it's slow going as I'm learning as I go so I do things more than once that a body man wouldn't have to. Amazing how much sanding there is. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
if you are leary of spraying metalic how about a nice sold color with pearls in the clear?
really metalic isn't much different to spray than solid, just practice some on vertical surfaces. the horizontal stuff is easy.if you can spray the primer withouty runs then you can probably spray the metalic, just beware of the overlaps so you don't get blushing. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Just a little up date.
Finally got the bed where I'm going to live with it. Need to sand it with some 180 then another coat of epoxy and final sanding I hope but that will be for another day. This is a case of ambition over ability. Wish I knew what I know now when I first started the bed. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Wow Kim, that is incredibly COOL! I didn't know you were doing a custom bed. What are your plans for fenders? Stock? Widened stock? Full custom? Can't wait to see more!
Best, Dan

Stock fenders. The bed is the same width as a step side bed. The fenders will help to hide my amateur body work. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Hey Kim, nice bed for sure. great sheet metal work, very creative. I may have missed it along the way, but what color are you painting the truck? Also, what size wheels will you have on the backside? Looks great

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Looking good Kim!
Those are some deep wheels you have. Will you be able to use stock steps, or do you have to modify them? . |

those are some hogs for sure. got that very size on my streetrod. Stay away from any Mickey Thompson street slicks, if you get caught in a rain, you'll be sliding on down the road for sure. I use Hoosiers Pro street tires. Good luck Morrie
