Default Re: 1949 Chevrolet 3100 - V8 Prototype

Once I zapped out the pattern, I flipped the piece over and tack welded it in place. Voila! Instant recessed fender. I'm pretty sure this is how the factory did it. If I calculate correctly, they'd at least get one fender done every day and a half, so that's not bad considering everything that has to be considered.
I had the radiator shop recore the stock radfiator to a 3-row and add V8 necks, so when you look in the engine bay you see an old Harrison radiator up front. A quick turn of the key, she fired up, and now I knew it was time to disassemble and start the finish work. My co-worker helped me get the body off. He's a good dude. Kind of quiet. Doesn't say much, and I don't pay him anything.
