Looks fantastic!

What is your procedure for finishing those welds to get it that smooth?

Re: Nsane 52' Chevy Truck!
 
Are you using a mig or a tig? Those are some slick welds. This is a good looking project!!! Keep up the good work.

3" angle grinder with a 50 grit disc followed by 80 grit followed by a brown scotchbrite disc finished with 80 grit on a DA. Panel55 everything you see on the truck is mig. Thanks

If I can ask .... I see your a fan of matching up panels with sheetmetal screws ... do you feel Clecoes don't do the job or ... ?

You've got a kick ass ride going on.

DeWayne, thanks for putting this up and showing your step by step. I have seen it here for a while but didn't look because too many builds with Nsane in the name have screamed insane due to no skills and horrible builds. I'm glad I looked today. Keep up the great work!

I think part of it is keeping every so clean and shinny!!! Clean metal welds best!

How about some pics of your recessed brake system? Whose parts are you using to attain such a nice looking (and located) brake pedal? I think its the trick kind of things like this that set people's trucks from one another. Thanks and what a great build!
