Slow progress is still progress!!

Earl, Scotty and John did all the bodywork to Felony Maker. Custom touches are pretty simple but executed accurately. First the bed was completely removed from the frame and every panel was stripped to bare metal. Each body panel was straightened with old school hammer / dolly techniques. Removing the hood and fender emblems, side rear view mirrors, the gas filler cap and properly filling all the holes with metal and weld was a must. The old '59 was is unbelivable condition, rust was non-existant, even the floor pans have never been patched and are still solid just like Chevrolet sent it out of the factory. The worst part of the truck was actually door hinge wear! Pretty typical stuff for a then 46 year old automobile. By simply machining new bronze bushings and steel pins fixed it. Good thing we know somebody with access to a machine shop, huh?
