Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Started off the day making a 40' extension cord for the new welder. And also added a little to the cart for hanging the cords.

Re: '56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)
Rocker ride height should be 4-5". Shooting to have atleast 10" of travel. Will know more on the front next weekend when the new arms get here.
