Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)

with all the work you put in you may have been better served with a total floor replacement (yeah right. have you seen the prices?) but it's good to see ypu hav some bracing in the door openings before welding in the panels. I always tell guys who are starting a can repair to install and adjustthe doors to fit the opening of the cab, no fensers attached, and then weld in some barcing across that opening before taking the door off. also include a side to side brace above the floor when the cab is still sitting of the frame or at least measure the cab mount holes and adjust as required so when the floor is repaired the cab will still bolt onto the frame again. I had to learn some of that stuff the hard way but have been around the block enough to have picked up some hints along the way.
