Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Heres the bedside I mentioned a few posts up. .. and my plans to fix it. I have an exact copy of what you see in the blue / red being bent now to factory GM specs. ( A local fab place called S&H Erectors is making it for us.) They have the correct metal brake to make that 'pressed bend' look. The stake pocket is bent in such a way a normal 45 deg bend just doesn't look right. The red lines are cuts, blue lines are bends. I made the yellow piece and it's ready to tack back in place. Hopefully we'll have the other piece ready to finish weld in a couple days.
Dad made up a cardboard template of what you see here, realizing that back piece doesn't come all the way up.. I just want it to be a touch long so I can cut it perfectly / fine tune it using the old piece I cut out. Hopefully you'll never know it has been replaced ![]()

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Rule #1 don't look back at what you said early on in your thread. I did that on mine and was like wow I come off as an idiot and shouldn't post any of my thoughts cause I just change them anyway

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
To all my friends out there, in all seriousness if you ever need ANYTHING from NewStalgia Wheel, please let me know and I can put you in touch with them. Absolutely one of the best companies I have personally ever dealt with. I dropped by at lunch, they took my wheels in, mounted them while I waited. Mitch (the guy that mounted them) took some Billet polish and wiped the lip off where the tire may have touched, etc. Just unavoidable soapy stuff, .. but the fact is they care and they work as if the wheels they're mounting are their own. It's an honor for me to suggest them for future wheel purchases and/or help in the area if you're local.
My wheels are mounted .. she'll be rolling on Sat morning.
