Re: 54 chevy boards on the floor build

12.31.10
Got started yesterday doing all the prep work so Stinson and I can chop it today as soon as he gets here. Started by taking all the trim and windows out of the door.

Then I stripped some paint and rust on the inner roof skin so I could see where to drill out all the spot welds.

43789 holes later I was able to pull the entire skin out pretty cleanly.

So that left just the roof and inner supports. This will make it easier to cut the top off and also use a hammer and dolly when tacking it back together.

Conduit because we can do it! Braced the cab to keep the flexing at a minimum.

Something else I've been meaning to do was make some type of offroad ready welding cart. I couldn't see spending $100 or more on a big wheeled cart so I picked up this dolly and made it work haha

Also been scoping this truck out locally

I think it's a '58?

Well on to chopping, more updates tonight!
