Someone has been busy

Is that lead you are putting in the body seams? What color are you going to or is it staying yellow?

Ben,

Since it looks like you are an expert on whipping F1 fenders into shape, feel free to make the long trip down here to New Mexico and bang on mine a little bit.

The truck is coming along nicely

Well, I am not really sure what kind of look Im going for. Just low and clean I suppose. I wanted to chop the top, but I'm having trouble locating a decent cab to get the extra metal from. Maybe one day down the road. As for color, I have no idea right now. I want to stay flat on it, so I was thinking about this color called "maize yellow" on the Hot Rod Flatz website, or maybe a flat red, since I found out the original color of te truck was vermillion. Who knows. It will probably be in red oxide primer for some time, until I figure it out. Right now, I just want to start driving it. Im trying to build it to be my daily driver. Oh, and it is not lead in the seams. I took everything apart, grinded the seams good and filled it with weld. We will see if it ends up cracking or not down the road. Thats another reason I havent decided on final paint yet. Oh well, back to the garage. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
