Re: Two is easier then one 1965 GMC S/W/BB build

I have so much respect for the people that just build sheet metal from scratch. We flat suck at it. However we are really stubborn and have no problem throwing away weeks worth of work and starting over.

Due to the very tight conditions and the fact we have re invented the wheel so often on this build it comes as no surprise when bad planning and over estimation of our talents put us behind the proverbial 8 ball.

I am talking about the master cylinders (Yep plural as we are running twins) and the steering column are fighting for their respective homes.

Here are a few pictures to show our pain.

To this where final welding and grinding gets us close enough to where it can be filled and painted.
