Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)

dsraven, the passenger side door hinge bracket is solid, the drivers side is completely gone. So the driver side will get a whole new door bottom panel, hinge bracket and probably lower outer skin. I did test fit the passenger door into the opening while fitting the hinge pockets. What a pain. I started tearing the truck apart early December, so progress is doing pretty well.

Here are a few pics of a quick rub down with Meguiar's #7 before tear down, paint depth and clarity was surprisingly good.

As soon as the rusty dusty body work is completed, I'll move to frame work. The frame is already cleaned, stripped and a few crossmembers removed. Still need to source the C4 suspension and a transmission.
