Body Panels

IT's time to do the body on my 65, any suggestions on the best place for sheet metal, and/or a glass nose?

How about being a bit more specific?
Most full panels are not available reproduction.
Only one supplier I know of makes fiberglass hoods, and they are $600+.
Used fenders aren't terribly hard to find, but hoods are.

Hoods and doors are identical 1961/66 F100/1000

Be careful on the front fenders, there are two different types.

1961/66 F100/250 2WD; and 1966 F100 4WD have a fender cutout that is 36 inches.

1961/66 F350 and larger trucks, and 1961/65 F100's with 4WD and all F250 4WD's have a fender cutout that is 45 inches.

Ahhhh, you want specifics? basically I haven't made a decision between frt fenders and a hood , verses a tilt nose. What the truck needs is repairs or replacement on both front fenders, both door outer skin bottoms, the rear right cab corner and the front left body mount. the hood is actually pretty solid but has a couple of dents that need attention.

I can build or repair pretty much anything, but I've never been fond of body work. So if the pieces weren't rude, I may buy new/used rather than repair.

PS. I forgot to mention she is my dailey driver in the winter, I have a 70 ragtop stang that I generally drive in the summer, so I can't spend forever on the repairs. It's just getting to the point where it's starting to look ratty and should be done either this summer or next.
