Nothing nicer looking than a freshly painted frame.
Looking good.

Bud you the Man. What an awesome solid truck. That 390 FE is a power house in a freight truck. I got one in my Uni. It's to much power if there is such a thing. I can only imagine what it will do in your 51 F1. Pass everything except a petrol station and rear tire shop. The Coppers will never catch ya.

Frame looks awesome. Putting it back together should be fun with a clean foundation!
