Ironworks latest project - 48 Chevy truck, Blown LSX 376, lots of body mods

[ironworks]

In this picture you can see the addition we made under the dash for the AC vents. We tried very hard to make it look some what OEM.


In this picture you can see the under hood support we built to flimsy hood and also the gas shocks we set up to hold the hood up.


To access the fuel filler we set up 2 strips in the bed wood to flip up and give us access. We build the hinge in Solidworks and had the parts press broke. We used graphite impregnated Delrin for the bushings.



You can also see the 2 holes for battery leads if you need to put the truck on a charger.


In this picture you can see the holes in the interior of the cab for the 3 point seat belts to come out of the cab for the passengers.


At this point you can see the fruits of all our labor on the front end. The grille now has a taper to it. The grille bolts to the fenders not the other extra parts. We heavily modified a Volkswagen Karman Ghia front bumper, we made a custom splash apron, we sectioned the hood, we made custom hood trim, and installed 57 chevy truck turn signals in the front fenders, we also had to make the raised section in the sheetmetal to mount the turn signal. Among other things.
