That is one of two brackets that the front inner fenders bolt to the firewall.......

Truckin' right along!:metal:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Okay, today I pushed the truck out of the garage so I can clean up some mess before I create a bigger one!..........here are a few shots of it outside.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Man that's looking really nice!! I like your wheels and the way they are tucking inside your rear fenders.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Kinda reminds me of someone else's?..............Honestly I had decided on these wheels before I saw yours and after I saw yours there was no question...:metal: These are the Boyd Codington "Junk yard dogs"...I really like the way they fit. I only wish that they had a 9.5 in the 20's. I went with the 10" and man they are close inside the stock wells. I really don't want to cut on this body. I am trying to maintain a (mostly) uncut body because it is in such good shape. However, I have always heard, "it takes a man to own a classic, It takes a real man to cut it up"..........believe what you want..........:lol:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

I agree, those wheels look sick!

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

oh ok, i never would have guessed that. thanks

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Well it has been a few since I have posted on here...........I am at that point that most of the work is slow and doesn't really show a lot of progress. However, I did manage to take some readers advice and moved the pivot points of the 4 link. Additionally, I started to fabricate the cross members and box some more of the frame. I plan to have the frame completly boxed by this weekend................

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

1 measly pic? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: That work could have had at least 3 or 4 good shots from different angles.
Looks good....:c2:

Brian ...:cool:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Man, you are so right..........I will do better next time. I ran out of film in my digital camera...:lol: :lol: Anyway, there will be a lot more coming in the next few days.........

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

And you were too busy rewinding all the DVD movies too !!!!

Brian ...:cool:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Man you sure got me pegged..................:)

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Okay, I decided to post some more pics since I caught a ration of crap from someone about the lack of pics. Not to mention any names, (entourageguy):) Anyway I have been working on the frame (still) and the plan is to have it ready to paint by next weekend. Once that is completed this build should go at light speed. Also, just to add to the pics I added some to show how much room this build really takes up. To date: I garage, two bedrooms, one rented storage room, and any other place that I can tuck part away until needed....................:c2:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

a few more that wouldn't fit on the previous post................

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

what was your final wheel/tire combo?

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

I went with the boyd coddington "junk yard dogs", 18 X 8 with 4.5" back spacing in the front and 20 X 10 with 6" back spacing in the back. I am going to change the rear tires because it appears that the front have more sidewall than the backs. ....................tires are the nitto 555's........I will post the size when and if I am ever satisfied with the size.

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Man, my wife would kill me if I put parts inside our house and on a bed. Either you’re not married or you have one great wife! The builds looking really good, keep up the good work!

It is the latter.........my wife is very tollerable with my "habits"....I am a toy junkie. She will sand, grind, and strip paint when ever needed. Anytime that I reference "we" on this build, it is just her and I doing it. She did just say today...."I think this will be the last build we do"..............I just nodded and said, "you missed a spot"............life is good!..............:)

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

:lol:

The only thing I can get my wife to help with is stripping wallpaper... so "I" can paint!

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Hey prostreeter want to sell those inner wheel wells sitting on the bed sides??

Brian ...:cool:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Yes, that is a Super Chipmunk. Just one of my other addictions. I had to sell off some of the planes so I could store more truck parts...:lol: :whine:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
 

Now Brian, what would I do for wheel wells if I were to sell them to you??:crazy:

Re: 59 Chevy Build
