Thanks John. I was surprised to find it while looking for something totally different. Sounds a lot better than real life.

I feel like they should ask permission before writing up an article on your truck, but I guess because its already on
a public forum there is no need to.

I'm OK with it. It just surprised me that I knew nothing about it. Pretty Kool though.

That is cool they picked your panel story. How did you find out they did a story on your truck?

I was looking for a car cover for it. Saw an image and thought that looks familiar. Clicked on the image and the story came up. Really coincidence that I ever found it.

Forgot to mention, I found a cover and will let you all know how it works out once installed.

Last warm day I installed the doors and epoxied the dash. It was bare metal and starting to flash rust. Here's a couple of shots. Oh yeah, I installed the old side pipes for effect. They're rusted through but they do look cool!






Sure wish I knew how to fit the doors. None close right. The back passenger door over lap the drivers side even. The drivers door hangs on the front cowl and the passenger door acts as though it's binding when fully closed, it pops open.

I decided to loosely bolt the fenders on and lay the hood in place.


I'm not too sure about this cover.

It's OK. It will protect your panel from the elements this winter.

I guess for the price if it lasts a few seasons it's better than building another barn.

Throw a tarp over the bumper and call it good!

Well I came out this morning to this.


Hopefully it'll stay in place with a few strategically placed Spring clamps.

Did you consider spraying some Ospho or just ANYTHING at least to try to stop the rust before leaving it out all winter? Seems like the tarp will just trap in the humidity and cause MORE rust...

Yeah I sprayed some flat clear (the cloudy looking stuff) but the cover is supposed to breathe.

Live & Learn

Many moons back I bought some Ford car hubcaps for this ole Patinia'd Panel. Today I tripped over them once to often and decided I'd just install them. Backs went on no problem, but fronts were a different story. I had converted the chassis over to 4 wheel disk brakes. In order to do that you change the front hub with a F150 rotor that has the hub combined with the rotor. Even though the assembly bolts to the old spindle the newer rotors hub must protrude out further than the ole drum brake hub. Sooooo guess it's plan B time.



How about these?
