F-1 progess pics... well sort of

Progress on my '52 F-1 has been slow this winter. I am working on the hood now, and the bed this summer. A few long distance friends and family members have been asking for some pictures of progress so I made them this video...

YouTube - 52 Ford truck restoration-hi res.mpg

Sorry... I made this for family, and it served its purpose. Warning --- it is pretty cheesy!!!

I would not have made it this far without the good folks here on FTE. Thanks to all for the help and advice given. It has been very much appreciated.

Fred

That's damn cool! Nice color combo, too. Good to see your daughter is involved, she will learn a lot!

That's not cheezy at all, Fred. I think your video, and your truck look great. I gotta admit, though, I'm a little envious of your assistant. I always thought the coolest thing in the world would be to have a gearhead daughter.
