Super Chevy – September 2019

TECH PUSHING STEEL

With the rear inners installed it was time to start cutting and trimming the rockers.

They also test-fit the rear outer quarters to make sure everything is ending up where

it should be. Some of the parts, like this rocker from Golden Star, come coated in a silver

weld-through primer.

RDS has many key

measurements on

hand, taken from

original survivor cars,

so they can check

parts that aren’t

located by the jig

fixture. These areas

around the door are

critical to having a

good door gap at the

end of the build, so

everything is double-

checked. It’s also why

one of these bodies

takes six to seven days

to complete.

Before welding, the inner roof structure was gently persuaded until the distance

was exactly where it needed to be for the door to fit right.
