I had my radiator support powder coated what they called chrome, but it looks more like aluminum. I mounted it and the radiator. Here's a pic.

Now that is clean

I'm going to powdercoat my rad support too, but I don't want it to catch your eye behind the grille so I'm thinking satin black. Yours sure looks sweet though.

That really looks nice.

CAL 58 GMC · 06-15-2006, 12:48 AM

Thanks all! I took a trip to the body shop today so we could place the A/C vents. I put the gauge cluster in so we could space the vents. You can see were we marked the drivers side vents.

55Chevy is right, it's a 79 Camaro clip. I know some of the Nova's subframes were the same as the Camaro's, but I am not sure what years that would be. It would be worth looking into though.

Sweet truck! you really know what your doing, awesome work.

Hey man,

I'm fixing to put a '79 camero front clip on my '58. I would like to see a couple of pics of your front clip with the front end supports off the og frame welded back on. I need to know what to put back so everything will go back on right. Please send me a couple of pics showing what you did if you don't mind. E-mial is cbmcad99@yahoo.com. This is the best site for trucks going that I have found. I really get pumped up by reading all the threads about others progects.

Latr, B.Sharp

CAL 58 GMC · 07-07-2006, 06:50 PM

Hey b.sharp,

I am not sure if this is what your talking about but here's a few pictures of the front part of the origanal frame were it was welded on the Camaro sub frame.

CAL 58 GMC · 07-08-2006, 04:58 PM

I went to the body shop today to pick up my rear fenders. When I showed up he had just finished painting the bottom of the cab. I had him spray under coating on the bottom and then paint over the top to give it color. Here's a few pics.

55ChevyPU · 07-08-2006, 06:50 PM
