Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up
As I said earlier life happens and you don't get to spend as much time with your project as much as you want. So far this is what I have managed to get done, plus a lot of small detail stuff I didn't bother to take photos of.
After I finished the bed floor I took it back apart and started on the tail light brackets and wired up my interior dome light to a door jamb button. I went to y local hardware store and bought two 12" stainless steel braided faucet connectors, made a mount for the tail light housing and cut down a barrel nipple and welded that to the mount and threaded it into the stainless steel hose connector. To get the desired bend in the hose I ran some steel hard line wire and had a enough room to fish in the electrical wire for the lights. I got rid of the old 1156 incandescent light bulbs and replaced them with LED 1156, bulbs that last longer burn brighter and cooler.
After that I got take the bed down completely to prep for paint. and weld up some small imperfections.
