Thumbs up 1954 F-100 Resto updates

It's going well. The truck looks great, so far. I got color on the cab, original meadow green, and managed to wrangle a few neighbors to assist in placing the cab on the chassis. I'd tell you how good it looks, but pictures will work better.

Thanks guys. I noticed a couple little spots that might not come out when Icut and buff the cab, so I may have to do a little spot repair. I'll add more pictures soon.

Looks good. It sure is nice to see a truck getting restored instead of modified.

She's a beauty! Looks like you're making tremendous progress. Mine was also originally Meadow Green but the color was hidden under bondo and rust . Nice work.

Yeah Walford, I did the paint, and body work my self. Actually, the only things I don't do, are sewing the seat upholestry, machining the engine, and doing the alignment. Everything else, is all me.
