Building a full tilt front end for my 1955 chevy panel truck 

Thanks 🤟

Me too. It's amazing to see how easy it comes to some of these guys, the vision they have and the know how to get it done. I'll spend 2-3 hours a night watching all the different fabricators on the tube. What gets me is the fancy shops that have all the latest and greatest tools, and then there's the guy that can damn near do the same with a wire feed and a grinder.

Thanks 🤟🤟

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Thanks 😎

Thanks man !

Thanks! 🤟

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I try my best.

Thanks! Maybe down the road I’ll end up putting some inner fenders on too. Just at this point it’s easier to work on everything without them.

I think I’ve heard of there channel, I’ll for sure check out that video, thanks I really appreciate it! 🫡🦫

Next time I do a shop update I’ll definitely show how it’s put together!

Thanks! This old sheet metal definitely isn’t getting any cheaper!

He sure did 😂 been living in his car too

Oh that’s cool! Mines says it’s a flamingo Joe

That’s a good idea! I’ll have to figure something like that out.

So I think the front spreader bar that joins the two fenders together is sitting about a quarter inch above the frame. Mind you the frame section on this truck isn’t factory so that could change a few things.

You know Mr beaver is teaching around the clock and doesn’t have time to change 😂😂 thanks!

Well to be honest I wasn’t going to run inner fenders but if I did I’d probably try to reuse the old ones, the rad is going to stay with the frame so I’d probably just make the inner fenders stay with the frame and go from the fire wall to the rad and make them removable, I’ll try to explain it in a future video a little better.

I’ll end up building a support to hold the radiator that will stay with the frame but will clear the bars that hold the front end up.

I still really love what I did with the frame, if I remember correctly I widened the s10 front section about 8”. But with it being wider it makes it easier for the exhaust and steering to be routed. If the panel truck wasn’t a budget build I probably would have just used a 70’s Camaro/nova front clip as it’s already width you’d want but I had the s10 one on hand.
