Photo Index of Mle's Truck Progress

 
 

Mle's '56 Chevy Truck started as a dead hauler. It has been striped to the chassis and is now being converted to a hot rod. This is a dynamic process - keep watching.

All of parts of the old hauler had to be removed

Truck parts were everywhere

A power washer was used to get the dirt and spiders off of the parts

No bed

No doors

Only a chassis

Using a 'come along' from the garage roof, the engine was installed

First fit check of the front end sheet metal

The fire wall had to be cut to allow space for the larger HEI distributor.  Even though the distributor fits without modifying the firewall, it would have been very difficult to repair it.  Welded and painted fire wall

Painting in a garage is a difficult task, but the end result is satisfactory.  Painted with custom seat
