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.

Looks great , I see those beautiful fenders hiding back there too. Also I cant let you go without complimenting you on taking the time to build such a nice paint booth.

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