Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
Thanks for the comments oldman3. It seems like it's taken forever to get to this point. The body work should be finished completely in the next two weeks. I got a new fender for the passenger side also so hopefully it will line up as good as the other one.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
The view from this angle shows it pretty much sitting on the ground. If I ran smaller wheels I could do this but I think my wheels will be fine.

More body work being done. This time the bed is getting some attention. The bedsides are looking good.

The rear fenders are just about ready to go. They are covered with primer.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
The body work is pretty much done. We need to adjust the front bumper brackets as they make the bumper sit too low. Other than that a few more small things here and there and it should be good to go. I think it looks pretty good.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
One last pic. The truck is ready for paint once we wrap up the little things left. Can't wait to see some color on it.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
Everything looks great, but the front bumper is on upside down!

Haha. Too funny. They threw it on real quick when I was there. Obviously nobody paid any attention to it.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
Truck looks real sharp.
I flipped my front bumper on purpose as it fits the truck better IMHO. Takes a little adjustment but follows the lines better. Kim |
