Re: My 1954 Chevy PickUp-truck

Hello,

now i have detailed looked and checked the Chassis...and it seems that i´ve got off lightly...deforming starts fortunately at the c-notch over the steering gear till to the front end of the frame rails...section behind the c-notch is not deformed.
Rright frame rail is about 2.35 inch in height and 0.8 inch to the side out of shape; left frame rail is a little bit twisted...powder-coating on the scratched areas is destroyed.
The other damaged/destoyed things are:
-> Engine transmission is scratched (paint is destroyed in this area).
-> OilPan is scratched (paint is destroyed)
-> Right control arm has also scratched (destroyed powder-coating)
-> Steering gear is scratched and one oil pipe is destroyed

This is the frame looks now from the right :-/

other news:
Cab is almost welded...dash is extended (for Climate and airride-control-panels) -- only last details must be done and a few holes must be closed....Pictures will follow (perhaps next weekend).

Regards from germany,
Robin
