That's gonna look so good when it's done and worth all that work. I keep looking at mine and wanting to take the plunge.
Nice job.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

With the Holidays over I was finally able to spend a little time in the garage on the truck.
Made these to seal off the cab corners. just need to do a little more trimming and then weld them in.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

I need to work on the cab bottom so this is what i came up with.
Modified my cab dolly and strapped it to the back of the cab and used my engine hoist and the help of a neighbor to flip it. I moved the ratchets to the inside of the cab incase I need to remove them.
Now the fun starts.
