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"!

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...........

Man prostreeter, everytime I see your progress I keep saying to myself what an awesome job you have done! Make sure to save a few bucks to fix the red truck fender

That means a lot coming from a guy that seems to have perfected perfection. Your ride is a benchmark for a clean well built ride. BTW, I did save a few bucks and now have the paint to fix the fender...........

Re: 59 Chevy Build

Such a great documented build on this truck. I haven't checked on it in over a month, so it looks like you're really making some progress. Makes me wish I had a shop for our 58 GMC project to get torn down in. I miss working on trucks

You know............I am at the point where pics just wouldn't show the progress made. However I did install the seats, brake lines, emergency brake, new headers, and right now I am waiting for the glass man to get here to install the windshield. I appreciate the inquiry and I will post pics this weekend.........................
