No metal work here.......just strip, prime, and paint.............this truck is in great shape. The only filler in the body is where I welded in factory holes that weren't needed...................... |

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Well I noticed that my post has fallen off of the 1st page............made me think that I need to post a few pics. Here are a few of the latest pics, been doing a lot of the tedious task like preping and painting. Hopefully we can make a little more progress shortly..............

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Well just a quick update on the progress.................seems like it has been a long time since I have posted on here. Anyway, I am still working on all the tedious, time consuming things that have to be done. I hope to have the front all back together by this weekend and finish the wiring. Here are a couple of current pics.....................

Re: 59 Chevy Build
Excellent work, and great pics for documentation. Question, what wire harness setup are you using?
I've got to say, that'll be one fine "TOE TRUCK"! ![]() Lee |

Thanks for the compliments........I am using the American Autowire #500481.......first time I have used their product. It is a very complete kit. Includes an ignition switch, light switch, and a lot of other goodies that competitors don't provide. I have only used painless in the past and I really am partial to their product, however, I feel that this kit offers more than painless.............and I would not hesitate to use them again........... |
