55F100 making progress
Making some headway. Sheet metal fits, hood and all. Just a little adjustment needed. Some grinding, some welding....hood off, hood on, hood off, hood on.....TADA!!

The bed is next. Going with the 5" wider front bed panel. I have a local metal shop bending up new bed sides. Planning on welding 1" tube to the top to replicate the rolled ends. Can't wait to let my son drive it to school next year; he's a senior! It will really stand out in the parking lot, next to the '69 Charger one of his classmate drives (actually his fathers car).

Mine too! I can straighten and block the sides. I have cut holes for small wheel tubs to accomodate my tires and will install my wheel tubs. I purchased a new front panel and tailgate, since manhour wise it was cheaper than time and effor to try and straighten.
Keep it up.
