Got the other side about 1/2 way done and ran out of wire. So have to wait until next weekend to cut out the old.

Grimss that is going to be nice. Now I'm thinking about airbags on mine.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Cool. You'll have a better time at it than me with your truck. All you have to do is take the bed off to get to the frame. I've already been in and out of the back of that d@mn thing hundred times. Plus once I'm done then I've got to cover it all up. But it's all good.

I've got good idea in my head that I'm going to have to do a test on to see if it works for the floor.

Nice progress Jared!

Are you going to the Sedalia Swap Meet on the 20th?

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Didn't know about it and have a wedding Sat. You going? I might go early.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Yeah we are planning on rolling down there Saturday morning and seeing what we can scrounge up.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Found out it's not a wedding this sat, but a party that I may have to help on. I'll give you a call Nate if I make it down there Sat.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Sounds good Jared!

The Panel is coming along nicely. Are you going to paint it, or are you going to have a shop do it for you?

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

I've got a friend that's going to help me out, but that's a long long way off.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

I don't recall if you've ever mentioned what kind of power plant you are going to drop in there... :D

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Don't have anything yet, but thinking a 5.3 or another LS based motor.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Not to recommend any services, but if you have any questions when you get to the install check with 72ironmike. He installed an LS motor in his old '68 (red), which is now owned by his brother. The truck was at the Nat's last year, but I don't think they even raised the hood. :D

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
 

Thanks for the info, will come in handy when I get to that point.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
