Almost a shame to cover up that pretty red paint with that chrome, but since it still had the rivets, might as well use them. I need to hit my local JY for some better shorty cab chrome.
I see the rear slider and fenders went on ok, so we will do the outer grill shell, hood and finial panel alignment wed?
I am most got a big spot cleared in the shop to finish up the interior work. Looking great Alan, thank you again and again for taking on the project.

Rich, I plan on doing the grill shell tomorrow after work. No worries. I have something planned for Wednesday. 
I have a braided wire wheel for my grinder. We'll get the frame black before you load it up so I know it gets done.
Bring the new grill insert and headlight bezels with you. We'll pop those on while we're at it so we can fine tune everything while it's here. Besides, I want a picture of all the Fords out back.

Do you want me to come down tomorrow afternoon and lend a hand or stick with Wednesday am for fine tuning and pick up?
I know you are signing for the new shop on wed, yea! I was wanting to go check it out with you. Or we can start hauling cars and big stuff that way?
Dang it looks sharp. I am so excited!

No worries for tomorrow. It would be a wasted trip to come down for two hours at 1700. Wednesday AM will be fine.

My boss didn't have much for me to do today, so he sent me home at noon. I had a guy stop by and offer to help me put the hood on and Tiff had today off, so........
Here ya' go Rich! We still have to do the cab lights and put the locking strip/trim in the back window, but other than that, it should be an easy day.
Throw the grill, bezels and turn signals in the Dodge and we can put it all together tomorrow.

Holy Ford truck man cow that thing looks awesome...I sure do love a red truck!
I think I might just bring down the grill insert, headlight bezels and park lights??
Thanks for getting the frame black and making the rest look awesome too.

Well went and got it today and WOW is that thing RED, and the back half of the frame is wire wheeled and has a fresh coat of black, and its a gorgeous too.
It followed me all the way home and will go in my garage tomorrow to get its interior started here real soon.
On a side note when Alan comes up for a finial color sand and buff, guess what else is getting buffed, yes the faded red bronco.
Kabluey rolled in for a hey look at me pose, I am sure Alan will do his magic and make it look just as sharp.
