Got stuff from the painter today! Here's the cab still on the trailer.

Fixing to go unload at the shop! Looks as if it's in good shape.

Here's the hood. Had a few penny size dents. Nothing major though!

Here's the grill along with out extra fender and hood. As well as our fenders that we're using. Loving that baby puke green primer!

Shaving the cowl vent, glove box, and ash tray. Will probably start that tomorrow after work!

 

Yes Sir, you've got a production line going there. I love the lines of a1955 F100--Cab, Hood,Grill and Tuck bed! I look at a 1954 F100 very similar to the 55. It was priced at 14K and although it look good, it leaked aroung the side windows, front window cowling and Air vent. It steered like a Old Mac Truck and since it stands higher than most of the cars and trucks in the latter years I could only raise it on my lift approx.4ft before it came within 3 inches of my garage celling plus I couldn't afford to buy it nor fix it up anyway. It's still for sale and has been for over a year.
Keep up the good work but remember the Sabbath day for rest and prayer! ron

 

Thanks man appreciate it!

 

Sorry guys no pictures this weekend! Had a graduation party Saturday and today I spent the day with the family. Just bought a big order of patch panels from LMC that should be here the end of this week. I'll post some small stuff through out the week, but major stuff will probably be next weekend!
Have a nice day! Trevor

 

UPS man came buy and of course he couldn't find our package

 

Not sure why so blurry, but all the patch panels arrived!

Rear cab corners, front cab corners, rear floor, and part of the cab mounts were delivered today. Let the fun begin!

 

At the pace your going you'll be finished the truck soon enough to build me one. Keep up the good work -- many will admire the results and you'll have the satisfaction of having complete most of it yourself with pride in workmenship! God Bless. ron

 

Thanks man, I probably have enough extra parts as of right now to build another one!

 

It really looks great, good luck with it. If you want to learn how to use your MIG to weld the patches in check out AXracers tutorial - it is great and a good way to learn. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-practice.html

 

Thanks! I will definitely check that out!

 

Oh to be where you are! Haha great work, I'm really trying to stay on my 51' this go round so one day I can be on the roll you are! Keep up the good work and posts, love it!

 

Thanks! I only have 5 months to finish so I'm trying to work fast but do good work. Ill definitely keep everybody up to date!

 

Looking over the new rear disc brakes kit!

Better look at the brakes.

Got the Dakota Digital gauges a while back! something I wanted from the beginning.

All aluminum performance radiator. Not really ready for the gauges or radiator yet, but got offered a deal I couldn't pass up!

 

I sure am glad my 56 is 93% done, but I LOVE a new project. Rock on!

 

Thanks man, appreciate it!
