Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

The shop I have it at now does a great job of documenting things and they take tons of pictures so I feel a lot more comfortable with the work.

More work on the firewall was done. It's almost where it needs to be. It's looking a lot better than before.

Body work has been started and things are starting to take shape. The cowl has been redone and primered.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

I went down and checked out the truck today. First time in a couple months since I actually went to see it. Fortunately the shop sends me tons of pics. Anyways here's some pics of the body work. A lot of little things are going on but we're definitely making progress.
