Make sure to run the suspension through a full stroke to make sure nothing hits.
Looks good. Use what you got for tools.

Re: My 56 build

Spent a few more hours in the garage today. Made metal brackets that mount on the firewall to hold the inner fender. Finished the left side and started on the right. Think I must of installed and removed that fender 20 times to get it right!

Re: My 56 build

Finished the right side inner fender today. Came out nice! Was more work than I expected, but most everything I do is like that lots of putting them on and taking them back off! Going to finish rounding the area of the cab where I rounded the doors. Then onto the hood. Haven’t had that out of the basement since I started. Plan on pancaking it. Taking about an inch out of the front. Also spent some time to make some tire blocking so I can work on the lower half! I saw them on a couple different motortrend shows.

Re: My 56 build

Got the truck pushed outside for the first time since last fall. Supposed to get a big snowstorm tomorrow oh well. Got the hood stripped. First time I’ve had it out of the basement in nearly two years. Only one small rust repair to be done. And I thought I was done with that Hopefully I’ll get time tomorrow to start pancaking the hood!
