Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
I got the hood springs in without scratching anything and installed the garnish moldings. The remaining glass goes in tomorrow morning, then I can start putting on the front clip.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
I moved more parts out of the basement and onto the truck. All of the glass is in, so is some of the interior. The rear speakers, instrument cluster and passenger side door panel took up the better part of the afternoon...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
I love those SW green stripe gauges!!! My '55 Belair had those when I was a kid. I swapped them for some cheapo Taiwan gauges and regret it. When I get back on the Belair I'm going for some new green stripes!!!

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
I wasn’t really happy with the way the windshield fit and then I figured out that the gasket was installed incorrectly. My brother in law came over and we pulled out the windshield, put the seal on correctly and put it back in (after being YouTube certified). Much better now, I should have put it in myself the first time instead of relying on a “professional”.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Thanks for the positive feedback guys.
Working on the interior tonight. The door panels are in, the kick panels are in, the jute carpet pad and carpet are also in. Tomorrow I have some friends coming over to hang the hood and fenders, maybe they will help me drag the bench seat up from the basement... |

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Mark, What's the little black box on the dash? Radar detector? Camera? Maybe you've already mentioned it and I missed it. If so, sorry.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Dan that is an antenna for the GPS speedometer. It’s not the ideal mounting location but it has to have a sky view.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Tonight my friend Warren and I got the front fenders on. He's been building cool project cars forever and his knowledge and skill was a huge help tonight. I still need to put on the braces and fine tune the gap at the bottom on the driver's side, but they're on...

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
I've been watching your build for a while now without saying much, but your truck is looking amazing! I can't believe how fast its going back together after paint.

Re: Brother's keeper - '58 Stepside build
Progress continues, the hood is adjusted, headlight bezels are on and after much effort the front bumper gaps came out perfect. I still need to finish up the carpet, put the seat in and finish up a few things in the back. I need to get some tags so I can drive this thing...

I finished up the carpet on the firewall hump and snapped a few pictures of the truck out in natural light...
