Yea actually... there will be more soon. Business just got super crazy so I put it on the back burner for a couple of months.
Plus a lot of riding.

Thealien · 11-28-2009, 09:23 PM

I don't know how I missed this one?? You have mad skills!

Ipaintgrt · 12-01-2009, 03:44 AM

This is a great build, I'm really interested in your suicide doors, Where are the hinges from? I noticed you mounted them without the door being mounted in place, and then you remounted them because you said it was too square. I'm curious, would it be better to tack then in place with the door in the closed position then seeing how it opens and closes? Do the hinges need to be mounted somewhat the same distance from the outside to inside, similiar to the originals? Just looking for any info on this, I have a 56 and I'm wanting to do this to my truck. This is a totally awesome build, are you going to have any top that you can use in the cooler months? There is more cold weather here where I live than warm, and there are allot of times you could drive it but its pretty cold. Thanks for any info.

*1sik52* · 12-13-2009, 07:49 PM

Why did you have to replace the quarter panel? In all the previous pics it looked fine.

Very cool you're willing to help out. I know a lot of people with projects guard their details until they've taken it to a show like Fort Knox. I hesitated a second to show my firewall in progress because it's a blend of a few ideas and it's coming out sweet and I figure some will copy it. I would like to get mine out to the shows before others do it...but if not, it's really not a huge deal. Same thing on my custom tailgate panel. But the other thing I consider is I'm using ideas I've seen on here (shaved driprail/combining ideas off two firewalls) to come up with my truck so I'd like to share in return.
