I hope some of the things I've done will save some sleepness nights for others! Door handles are from a mitsubisti mirage

Re: 56 project
Man I don't know why there are not more comments on this but once again the truck looks great. The hood, door handles, and the panel fitment is really nice.

Re: 56 project
I don't like it!
I love it! Wow, it looks great. This is why I come to this site more than any other sites. The work you guys do on these old pieces of crap to bring them back to life is amazing. Again I love it, I don't think the pictures justice to the truck. What size wheels and tires are you running? Can you post a pict from the back so I can see how the wheels are tucked? Tri5
