Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500















This pretty well covers the work I've done to the front end this week. I did notice the bottom sheet metal that goes between the fenders, below the grille was almost touching the frame extensions I had welded in to mount the front bumper. I should have test-fit the front sheet metal before mounting the frame extensions, but I got a bit ahead of myself. Rather then cut out all of the welds and start over, I was able to notch the top rail on the frame extensions about 1/2" deep and 2" back. This gave me the extra room I needed to help the front metal sit right.



^^^ The visible cuts on the outside of the frame rail are from a piece of angle stock that had been welded on to mount the front subs to a Camaro front clip. Since the angle stock was not needed for this build, I've been cutting out the extra material to clean things up. I'm not quite done on this side, obviously.
