So here is another attachment, not sure if anyone has seen this thing but it is a real engineering acompishment. It's widended by 2 feet!

1952 Fiper SRT10 Viper

 

Very interesting indeed. My '52 project involves a 7.3 IDI. Still in the 'planning' stage.

 

That's crazy awesome! How'd you find this truck?

 

I think it was on this forum, someone else I think in the international forum had posted a link to it. I kept it to see if he keeps updating his web site, I would like to see it when he is all done, alot of work going into that truck.

 

We try when ever there are new changes to keep our webpages up to date, last weeks It was the "Honey can you do list"
We'll be back in the shop soon again , keep you posted and thank you for your posting

I hate this truck.

But only cause its not in my garage!

 

I know what you mean Sheldon. Ben and Mika, welcome to the forum and keep up the good work. That's awesome.

 

Kudo's to Ben and Mika!! Thats not a project for the faint of heart!!! Good luck!!

 

Hi Guys
Here our build update for the 52Fiper
Hope you like our mods

Ben and Mika

Custom build winged tailgate with hidden tool storage we called it the
"52Fiper TOOLGATE "
When open normally works just like a regular tailgate
when hidden latches released outer tailgate part opens and shows tool selection.
(this is just a foam template original will be made of Wild Cherry wood)
Inside of the down part now functions as workbench
Like to hear your opinions ( you can also see our 2.5" dual exhaust in the bed rails)
Cheers Ben and Mika Verduin







More pictures and build you can see at

I like the toolbox/tailgate idea, although it would suck if the latches let go when your tailgate is down and all the tools fall out.

I'm not a fan of the exhaust in the bed rails, but that's just me...

 

the exhaust is super cool until the first time you drive it a while then lean on the bed lol

 

Hi guys , of course the heat of the exhaust was also our first thought and concern. Inside the 3" there is an 2.5 exhaust, the space between is open to forced air when driving over the entire length of the bedrail. If that will still make the bedrail too hot we have a second solution but we have all the trust it will be OK It will get a little warm but not hot. Ben

 

Latest update 1952 Ford F1 "52Fiper"
We have the brakes all ready to go , all looks nice and clean.
Finally Good brake pedal pressure ( after two flushes we still found still air ?? )
Next step is to work on the body and get the metal all welded and formed so it can be ready for primer.
We are going to use our classic european tool instead of bondo ( ofcourse only were its needed , its a old lead spray tool ( see picture) We use the eastwood lead "free" lead but that does not mean we are using it with very good ventilation and protectection.

We also have some great never been done Paint ideas... Keep you posted

Our lead spray tool

 

Congrats on your progress, wish I could say the same but my 56 hasn`t seen it for a while. Hopefully by spring. Thankfully it`s alot further along than in these old photos!
I`ve never heard of a lead spray tool, it`s a new one to me and very interesting.

 

Wow, just wow. I don't know how I missed this but I am subscribing now. Keep up the good work!
