Re: 55.2 Chevy 3100

Ok, this is gonna seem kinda like a repeat because it's the passenger side hinge area. So pics similar. And I did post on face book yesterday so some of you would have seen it there.

Anyway, this side went faster since I was all practiced up from the other side. Things seemed to fall into place better too. Still need a little more welding and the lower fender tab added.

And I guess you would call it the lower b-piller, drivers side is done and still need pass side fixed, then onto fixing the passenger door. That will allow me to hang the doors to line up the step and cab corners. All that will take some time. I have one more week and then all free time is gonna be minimal. So things may slow significantly

In this picture you can see how I add a piece of metal to square this panel up. All the replacement ones I've seen are angled. In a couple different directions. My cab was square all the way around in this area. So I had to modify the lower fender bracket as well. Besides squaring up the inside part makes it easier to make the inner panel come together. that is if your making your own and not buying the replacement inner.
