Thread: 57 Chevy Cruizer

Tweet

Made some progress on the '57, got the firewall out and the floor removed back to the wheel wells. New floor supports are put in, still need to finish welding everything. I was really surprised how heavy all the stock pieces were...so far, 200+ pounds of old ugly fat removed and 35 pounds of supports installed!!!! The aluminum floor won't weigh much at all, so the "diet" is going quite well so far!!!!! Tomorrow's challenge is to try to get the trunk floor out in one piece...it's in really good shape and somebody will need a good OEM floor someday!!! Also not part of the net loss on weight but I think I've removed about 50 pounds of dirt, sand, and mud from the car--10 pounds of it landed in my eyes, of course!!!!! I'll try to remember to get some pics tomorrow and post them up.

PS--Beginning to think the drip rails are just too ugly, they might have to go to the scrap pile too......
