IT IS DUN finally! So my plate reads
Well after 9 months of aggressive working in the garage my 52 is done. This is not for the stocker faint of heart! :-) Take a peak at my gallery.


Oh yeah! Can my gallery be unhidden now?

Later,Bill

The truck looks great! Should have done that with my 56, would have been driving by now instead of sanding all day long.

Nice looking truck. It's got the right "patina" to it. I, too, have seats out of a Caravan in my '51 Panel. I have the buckets for the front and the very back seat from a Caravan for my "midrow".

Way cool, man. Congrats. I really like the stance.

The color(s) nice too....Maybe I'm wasting my time trying to decide on a paint color for mine.

Your truck looks great! Nice job, you must have set some kind of speed record building it. I can really appreciate the paint job, mine's a pain in the butt to work on now. Wayne

Your truck looks awesome. I love the way it sits and patina of it. I wish mine had that look or I had more time to have made it look like that. Awesome truck.

I love the stance and look of your truck! Maybe you can find a talented sign painter to add "Bill's Speed Shop" in faded lettering to your doors!
Good Luck!
Kent
