Re: 56 pro touring build

I really like the progress of your build, and I like the idea of building a truck to compete with the Camaros and Chevelles.

On the firewall section you bought, how do the door hinge nutplates look? My truck has two that were broken and the PO used hex nuts in their place. I got some nutplates from McMaster-Carr and used countersunk flush rivets to install them, but they don't slide as much as the originals and I can't get my doors to adjust out enough. If you're interested in selling me them, or if I can get one so I can make copies, that would be awesome. I would need the nut and the cage that holds it in place. I called all the truck shops and nobody makes them. They all said, "Yeah, they should reproduce those things because lots of people ask about them".
