Re: New 1957 Project

Here's the latest update. So far I've been able to accomplish the following:

-Fixed the brake and clutch pedal set up that I took from a 86 Chevy truck to work with mine. I'm using the 86 hydraulic clutch set up and a booster from a Chevy van.

-Installed rear cab panel...BTW, the contours on the sides aren't exactly like the original and it will take a bit of work. In hindsight, I should have just repaired the original and changed the cab corners. At one point, the truck was in an accident on the drivers rear cab corner and had a replacement spliced in, poorly I might add.

-Filled the fuel filler hole.

-Replaced the front lower hinge pockets. I originally patched these but, I knew that they had rust and being a perfectionist, I couldn't live with it. Not the easiest to change.

-Replaced the fender bottom. One odd thing about this is that the inside edge profile is not the same, so it took a bit of work with a hammer and dolly to fix.

-A bunch of dent filling, sanding and hole filling.

-Sprayed Al's Liner on the inside of the cab. I was able to tint it with the color that I'm going to use. Additionally, I used the rubber granules to help with making the inside of the truck quieter.

-Did I mention a bunch of sanding?
