I lived in Winchester for 33 years, have a home in Somerset where I was born. Currently in Syracuse,NY with too much snow. My 54 is in a heated garage in Somerset needing lots of work. Good luck to theKY guys.

 

Welcome on board from waayyy up north.

 

This is where I am on the 53 F-100:

I hate painting a frame. Just when you think every little hole is painted, you see bare metal somewhere else.

I actually started to put down the black paint, but had the gun adjusted wrong. (this is my first time with a HVLP gun) I had too much paint and got some orange peal right out of the gate. I just need to sand a cross member and start over. Live and learn.

 

It`s going to be sweet!

 

I'm needing a '53 to '55 driver door in Kentucky if anyone has one, let me know. Thanks in advance...fellow Kentucky Ford owners!! Also a bench seat for a '53 to '55 F100, and a radiator for a '54 F100 with a 239 OHV Y-block. Don't want much....do I?

 

Put this in the FTE classifieds and as well check locally in your local chapter`s sell/wanted thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...ng-thread.html

 

Hey phil, there is a swap meet in Louisville at the end of March. I'll probably go. Maybe you can go, or give me a list of what you need and I'll look for it. Here's the link:

Yeah....I saw that Doc!! I am thinking about trying to go...but if I can't make it, what you see in my earlier post is all I need at the moment. Thanks.

 

Hey guys! Not to hijack this thread, but this is the most ky guys I've seen post in a thread. Ky does have a chapter on FTE. It is lacking in members, so, if/when you guys get a chance, you could post up in the latest B.S. thread. I'm from Camp Springs, Melbourne, Alexandria area, about 15 miles southeast from Cincinnati.

 

Welcome to FTE, from another member from north of the Border.
As you can already see there is a ton of info on here and people always willing to help. Good luck with the build.

 

campspringsjohn, give me more info on the FTE chapter, garrysharon@fuse.net,I live in Sparta,Ky, Ky Speedway is three miles from the house, thanks Garry

 

Welcome from sunny So Cal! I am a newbie here myself, and I am just starting in on a '55 F100. Frame looks great so far.

 

Kentucky Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums Here's the link to the Ky Chapter. Click on the first thread and follow the directions. That's it.

 

It has taken a while, but the 53 is finally sitting back on all four tires. I'm in the process of putting all the little pieces back on, then I'll set the engine back in place.

 

You guys doing frame ups and mostly stock are pure inspiration.
