Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Damn you sure must have large rats in your shop to that hole in it!! I did a 56 Chevy Panel back in the late 80's put 60,000 miles on it in the 10 yrs I owned then sold it to a fellow in AZ........

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Started off the day making a 40' extension cord for the new welder. And also added a little to the cart for hanging the cords.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Look ma, no jack stands...
She's holding her own weight now in the rear, and got to finally move it over and sweep. That's been killing me of how dirty it was under it.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Rocker ride height should be 4-5". Shooting to have atleast 10" of travel. Will know more on the front next weekend when the new arms get here.
