Re: 1952 Chevy Vette Roadmaster LT1 Farm Truck Build
Thanks all! One thing I am finding that may help out others that have to replace the rear panel and outer cowls. When installing the doors to set gaps, spend more time on the front outer cowls setting the gaps with the door and save the trimming and such for the rear panel and door gaps. You don't have to remove the door each time to do cutting and welding. You do for the where the outer front cowl and door meet. It's also easier to hammer and dolly any welds on the rear panel. That's what I have found so far.
Anyway's, a bit of a story I forgot to mention earlier. When I started smoothing the fire wall, I removed the 4" cover plate on the passenger side of the firewall and look what I found.
Pretty cool! It's the same key cut as the one I got with the truck. First owner probably hid in there when it was brand new.
