Re: 1Bad37: C5 Corvette Meets '37 Chevy...

Well Goodguys didn't happen, things still slooooowly rolling along.
Cleaned up the back of the rear lower arms so they'll look neat when you're behind me:dontknow: Done vs undone.
Front skid.


Deleting some weld seams seams on the side rails and capping the ends

Several days later

The front half looks worse than the back as it is hidden under the truck and basically keeps the frame from rusting. The back half where the bed opens was wet sanded and painted repeatedly for a much smoother finish...
Added sound deadener so parts don't ring when hit.
Details of the rail ends.


Something I made on Sunday/Monday, A new passenger side mirror arm. Repro mirror arms have straight arms, which looks stupid, and are cast pot metal that breaks if you try to hammer it into the correct bend... (ask me how I know) Anyways, I made this new one. It isn't exactly perfect but its a dang good match for a piece of exhaust pipe, rebar and some flat stock I found on the floor...:rofl1:






And no, paint hasn't happened yet, still have lots of work to do including tightening the door jambs...
