Re: My 57 Pro Street

This build has some awesome fab work. Are you going to keep the 57 grill? Those are my favorite TF grills.

Nice work on your truck. Subscribing, I wanna keep watching.

Thanks.
I'm going to keep it with some changes.
I like the look of the center oval floating in space so that's what I am going to try and achieve.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Here's a quick up-date.
I had to come up with a new core support so this is what I did.
I took a piece of 2" OD tube and cut it down. Then I welded some nuts on the back of a couple of washers that fit inside the tube and welded them in.
They are just tacked on my frame horns for now. Will finish after I make sure everything fits as it should.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Time for some updating.
I had to repair the lower corner on my pass. door.
I'm to cheap to by the whole lower door skin for such a small piece so I made my own.
The pics are self explanatory.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

I started working on getting the driver door to line up.
The cage nuts on the top were missing so I made some replacements.
I doo have to hold them in to get them started but it's not that bad.
The door wouldn't close all the way at first so I used a 2x4 to persuade it and now it's fine.
