If it's what I'm thinking, it'll take that truck to the next level. You can PM me with the info. Your secret is safe with me.......

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Is there a difference in width between the front fenders of the 58-59 and the 55 fenders you have?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Man I finally got the sectioned hood in primer. It was a lot of hammer and dolly work but here it is.







I'm still blocking the fenders. They are coming out nice the are pretty straight. Here is a pic of them in primer I will be blocking them more.

Man when it comes to body work, your the man! I have spent hours an hours working on a stock rear fender and i thought to myself some people shouldn't do body work! ( me) and then i see people like your self that make it look easy, and i know it's NOT. That came out great Kabwe.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks guys I've been trying to get some stuff done but as you know prepping body panels can be quite tedious. Those panels are not done they are just epoxy primed and still need to be blocked. Lots of hammer and dolly work to get them to that point.
