No those will be painted once I get there. Those are actually the raw gel coated fiberglass Mid-fifty fenders right out of their boxes. Pretty mint fitment. Will need some prep in terms of knocking down some high spots but I'm nowhere near body work stages yet. 2 kids, 3 yr and 6 month old means paint and body are a ways off.

I too think they are not at all hard on the eyes as is.

There is this one too. It even had a dump bed, but is a little more work. This one is even closer to me and you.
1953 FORD DUMP TRUCK

And this one is even closer to you. 1953 FORD F-600 Truck
It is a 700 big job I think it is a 54
If you need any more help, just let me know.
I am in talks with the guy that has this one . It may be coming my way real soon?

Hopefully it all works out Chris. That looks like a nice one.
Then you need to get a 54 and 55 grill and swap them out every so often.

Tell me more about that grill. I'm looking to do something similar with a 54 grill.

A work in progress to make operational. It's a big jigsaw puzzle with a lot of pieces missing.

I have to say I like the black fenders. I never thought about 3 tone paint but that hits it out of the park.
