That is a really slick/clean idea. Pretty straight forward as well. Have to remember this.

Yep, but the best thing to do is brag on them and then STEAL thier ideas for yourself!

I thought about that on this '56 I'm workin on, but the thing is already painted and I didnt want to take it apart. But next time on a ground up one.......... consider it stolen!!

Are those Chevy hinges thicker than our Fords, I'm thinking ours are closer to 3/8th"s thick material, it's a really good mod and the squire tubing will definately give you more room for wires.

Youre exactly right, the chevy's are thicker than our trucks. The mod is AWESOME!! I wish I had been able to do that on this '56 I'm workin on right now, but it had already been painted, and I didnt want to take it all apart. But I did think about something similar to what this guy did, but not exactly. Now that I've seen it, that's the way to do it!!



NICE WORK!!!
