Paint!!! Wood!!!

The stock restoration of my 53 F100 started almost ten years ago. I have finally got some paint down. I opted for Glacier Blue single stage urethane enamel instead if the r Meadow Green that it was painted at the factory. I think it will draw less attention to my body work than the original darker color. The wood is quarter sawn white oak with straight tung oil. I'm hoping that I post a photo or two of the cab and all the front end sheet metal on the frame in another ten days or so. Then, a relaxing winter wiring and doing the interior.

That's going to look great once it's all set on your frame, you did good.

Looking good. Thanks for feeding the picture addiction (I can quit looking at truck pictures anytime, I just don't want to...)
