56 F100 Panel Custom

I belong to Forties Limited of Orange County and each year we put on a show in Anaheim called Forty Ford Day. The 2018 show was held this past Sunday, lots of great cars as usual but this panel was one that I thought that I would share...

The sad part is it was probably original paint from the original owner with no rust

Thanks for posting. I am sure much work and many dollars went into it. I prefer the Mercury woody in the background.

My idea of a custom panel is a Ford Ranger.

I spoke with the builder/owner and he said that he was one of the original members of the Autobutchers car club from East LA. He was very proud of his truck and in his world this is a well-accepted design. Not a truck that I would build but great workmanship nonetheless. A look at their club plaque will let you know how they feel about stock vehicles.
