Re: New Project 57 Chevy panel on 78 chevy frame

Hello;

I have all so put New roof on the shops to help the concrete last.
Looking forward to the swap meet the 3th weekend in Sept in Los Lunas.
Looking for a set of 57 Fenders for the panel.
With haveing to replace the firewall cowl area.
I'm thinking of looking for either a 59 chevy car dash or a 57 chevy car dash.
I have found a chrome 57 chevy pu grille,fender chrome scrip,rear view mirror plus chrome "chevolet" scrip. Gave 400.00 for the above items.
Pick up a set of 56 chevy fender skirts, thinking about redoing the rear wheel opening to fit the skirts.
I know that I have a lot of body work to do n a lot of fabbing also.
That is the reason for the concrete shop floor, Will have a heater"gas" in the shop for winter work.

The 348 chevy motor still turns over by hand,it has water pump, fuel pump,dist,exhaust, intake with 4bd, had to get a flywheel "Auto" for it.
Once I get the shop floor set I'll get the 348 on the stand n ck the compression.
Then go from there.
The 348 is not going in the panel.
The panel will get a 300hp 350 with a 350 trans all setting on a 78 chevy 1/2 ton frame.
