Talking update on progress....

well I actually drove the 50 f1 panel, legally on the street on 8-13-5, and went to the All Ford Picinic, in champoeg state park, oregon on sunday.... It was quite the experence driving the panel for the first event/ road trip....

did not have the hood or rear doors done, but it helped the motivation...

pics 9 and 10 in the gallery..

cabby,
thanks. I actually made a bit of progress over the weekend and took a few more baby steps. I got the transmission cooler lines bent up and installed and got upper and lower radiator hoses in place.

Enjoy your truck!
Bobby

PS The fire truck looks like a neat toy also! I once owned a 1942 American LaFrance pumper that I referred to as my snappy red convertible
