1948 Chevrolet Truck

This project is a '48 Chevy Truck that we are currently doing the rust repair.  Later, we hope to be able to apply the paint for this DIY hobbyist.

Follow our progress!  Oldest pictures are at the bottom of the page.

The original seam of theroof pillar to the cowl.  After 60 years, the lead finally failed, so we melted it out to reweld the seam.  We will re-lead the panel after repair.
