Re: 57 GMC / C4 Build

Thanks Jason. Every time I think I am making progress I take a step back and realize how much work still needs to be done. It's like eating an elephant one bite at a time.

I did get some more work done on the bed. So I'm pretty happy how that is coming along.

I ended up sectioning 4" out of the fenders. It was a little tricky with the taper but after a few tries I got it figured out.



By shortening the fender I created a gap between the bumper and the back of the fender. Not sure how I want to deal with that yet. I was considering extending the bumper to meet the fender as it did before. But, now I am thinking of doing a panel similar to the step to fill in that area.




I cut some reliefs in the rear bumper and straightened it out. I'll shorten it up once I decide how it should meet the fenders.


Also made a roll pan to fill the space under the shorty tailgate and frame a license plate.


Rounded out the bed rail corners and notched them for the tailgate.


Also got the fuel cell mounted.
