1952 F1 thanks for the Forum's help - First test drive

<VAR id=yiv982548229yui-ie-cursor></VAR>

Here is You Tube video of first test drive of 1952 Ford F1 truck build I have been working on since September. A little more painting to do. I have the paint just have not sprayed it yet. I bought it in September in Dallas. Nothing on the chasis but the cab. Nothing in the cab but paint.

Had to make a roller out of i<VAR id=yiv982548229yui-ie-cursor></VAR>t to move it here to New Braunfels. Hundreds of boxes of parts one good engine built by Bud Lee (famous Texas flathead V8 expert) a disassemble spare flathead, 3 spare tranmissions, etc..

I figure I<VAR id=yiv982548229yui-ie-cursor></VAR> would tie the doors together and take her for a ride last Sunday. Brake bleeding was quite the challenge. Three test drives to get them right on. Still have to finish wiring lights, installing side windows, door handles. Its 90 percent.

So here is a little video for the help with answering my questions, helping with where parts go, and I did it all with the help of this forum's members and a factory service manual. They'll still be more questions, but we are almost there. So hang in there team.

I am looking for a 1952 V8 fan shroud by the way.
