    Dam good show Doug yer my new super hero . If ya never been one before , ya are now I been a huge DD Speed shop fan couldn’t get enough ! Now they seem to have lost love of the following they made . I was a big Big Dons Garage ( tri5 guy) but he kinda stopped makin videos . If ya haven’t figured it out we’re all fickle fans I watch the guys that kinda show cuse and teach , which is what I’m getting from yer channel I still watch ya all but when I watch yer work amd dedication ( maybe because yer just a one car at a time like the rest of us . Makes all the difference I’m almost 63 and yer keepin me goin . They just did neck amd shoulder work 2 weeks ago on me as soon as it quits hurting so bad , I’m goin back out. To weld that rocker in and then the full floor . A pillar repair and tail panel will come after have new toes boards in boxes and front lower quarter patch panels both sides in the box prayin for first drive late June . Still gotta build the 355 (350) bored already pistons cam 2.02/1.90 heads eldo performer intake 55-56 headers 3 inch stainless exhaust. Already did front end and disc convergence have tilt column too amd full set of rear brakes shoes hardware and drums new heater core if I can just get a few more yrs out of this old carcus of mine . I’ll try and get pics to yer fb padge

    That looks great with primer. That top section of the quarters are leaded and foward about 2 ft between the top of the quarters to the window channel. No one makes that piece for Nomads as well.
    If your tailgate hinges are pretty rusted, soak them in vinegar for a week to free them up. I did that first then wire brushed mine clean before I rebuilt them and saved a couple of hundred bucks which I could put toward something else, like welding gas.

    Doug, I imagine you are going to make the nomad look like your 56 and the 57 I think thats what I would try to do, but I think it would be cool to not grind down your welds and no filler no paint let the scars show to show what you went through and what that old cars been through. I really like what your doing and I really like that black 57, see you next time.

The replacement looks like it’s not bent and will fit, I know the one that came with car is bent and I’m trying to figure out a way to fix the curve. Some people have bent them cold, others have carefully heated it and coaxed it back to shape.
