Plugging away....

Have not been on as much as I like, but getting close to loosing my hard drive on this computer so I better put up some pictures of some recent work I have been doing. Been reading FTE on Kindal so I can still read the great threads and all the new folks who are joining in. So here are a few pick and I apologize if some of the picture were already posted before.

For those who don't know me. This is my 51 F1 panel truck.

This is the rear quarter on the driver side that had some rust damage as well as the passenger side.



This is my attempt at repairing it.



some more photos of my progress



The rear fender well had bad rust outs on both side and had to be repaired



After the repairs




Some outside shots

Great job! Looking really good, there is a lot of surface to do on a panel.

It looks like your "attempt" at repairing it turned out pretty well.

Dammit, I was gonna name my '51 'Scrapheap'. You beat me to it.

Nice work so far, it's gonna be beautiful.
OK, for a bonus point...who can identify the year of the green truck parked on his work bench?

Man, you are pretty observant. I had to look twice to see that after you mentioned it


Also, nice job on this restoration, I'm looking forward to seeing more
