Steve's 59 Build

Thought I would share some of my build pics of my 59 project, here's a few in random order of after blasting and epoxy primer. I'm a little further along at this time and will post up pics on a daily basis from here on out.

Re: Steve's 59 Build

You are farther than I am body wise and I have a simple question. Can you mount the inner panel then the fenders? I thought the fender fit between the inner panel and the front grill? I pulled my clip as one piece and always assumed I would have to reinstall it that way.

Re: Steve's 59 Build

orrie; order of assembly: core support, inner fenders, grill support and then fenders
inner fenders bolt to the brackets on the cab and to the core support
everything after that hangs on the inner fenders.

i've seen guys without inner fenders and always wondered how they assembled their trucks



i bolted on my core support and finished off my engine bay to where the motor was wired and running
makes it real easy to work on the motor, set up the ac and bolt on the front accessories

Thanks Orge. That will make wiring and the ac hose routing easier.
