Project 5 Window Chassis Update

April 7, 2016 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We made some nice progress on the chassis of the 1950 Chevy five window truck. We cleaned up and reinforced a bunch of the welds and we converted the Heidts front end to tubular control arms. We blasted everything, painted and now are back to rolling chassis status.
