1956 Nomad gasser build

[Too Many Projects]

With both of the tubs clamped in place, it was time to set the body on the frame to see how close I had guessed as to their locations.



And YES, it is really nice to have this kind of power equipment to do this.












Left side is about 1/2" too far in.



Right side only needs to move out about 1/4".



After the adjustments, there should be room for a 14" tire..



That will have to wait for a few weeks. It's too damn cold here and Florida is calling...

Well dang, I had to come back to the frozen North. May as well work on a hot rod and get paid for it.

Next up was modifying the cargo floor to fit the wide tubs. I cut out the floor in approximately the shape of the tub and used the cut out as a filler/weld flange piece.






This is a VERY abbreviated version, as it took me 3 days to get this all to fit and look this good.







I then finished the day by cutting out a tag board template of the filler panel I will make to blend the original inner to the tub.
