Re: 56 pro touring build

We bought it without the engine and trans. Somebody started working on this quite some time ago. It has not been registered since 1987. It looked like it was sitting in someones garage. I am not quite sure about the last guys work though. There are a few things that are an issue. He tried to get rid of some of the seams where the front top and bottom grill sheetmetal, and the back panel that connects the bed sides by welding them together. We had to cut them apart and try to salvage the pieces.

Another area that seemed to be interesting was where the front fender mounts to the cab. It appears like the mount is not there and he welded a washer to the cab to bolt to. He did this on both sides. Go figure. It is ugly.

Every beauty has its demons.
