Today's progress, install contacts for the door solenoids, hang one door and install the wiring cover for the upper steering column.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Back on the ground, I actually DROVE the '58 out of the garage and gave it a quick bath. I also got the doors adjusted so the gaps are right and both sides open and close with ease.


I also changed the sway bar links, using a set for a '70 Charger which were 1.5" longer. I think lowering the front suspension messed up the geometry of the stock Nova links, causing them to tip back. Now they sit straight up and down.

Working on a front brake upgrade today. Stop Tech drilled and slotted rotors. Baer pads, Timken seals and bearings, all new hardware. I removed the dust shields for better air flow...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
While the truck is at the painter's, the garage is getting a beauty makeover. Drywall was in but it needed to be mudded and taped. After the mud I gave the walls a coat of primer and a 2 tome paint job. Tomorrow the Racedeck flooring goes in...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Visited the painter tonight to go over a few things and give him some money for materials. The bed parts are in sealer and everything else has been final sanded. Color will be going on in the next couple of days, I can hardly wait...

Just as it sits in the picture, the door and cab jambs are painted already. I painted the firewall before putting the cab on so masking shouldn’t be too difficult
