Beautiful work. Inspiring. The cab on my 53 will be ready for priming in a week or so. I intend to paint it Glacier Blue. I hope my own project comes out as nice as yours. I read through your posts, and I did not see how you plan to complete your project. Are you going stock? I am thinking that by using a stock color, that you may be going in this direction.

My plan is to keep it basically stock. I did put disc brakes on the front, but other than that I don't plan on changing anything.

Forgot to take pre pics but I disassembled, cleaned, stripped, and repainted my heater box.





Took some searching on here but found an old post about blower motors and picked one up that was compatable size wise...only needed to modify the hole in fan for shaft. Works like a champ.



Running out of things I can do with the parts I have....time to talk to my financial manager about a loan.
