Mine didn`t explode but it still made a mess with battery acid everywhere, a small leak in the rad.....Definitely learned the hard way what a lose battery can do....

If it`s really flattened out it takes alot more patience. It`ll come ok if you take your time, as long as there aren`t any sharp creases or kinks.

Tons of auto events, show & shine, etc.
Here`s a link to our local stuff: http://www.autoevents.ca/

The trim on your parts truck ain't too bad. Oh make sure you do NOT loose those signal lights on the front fenders. They were on Mercury trucks for 2or3 years nobody makes repos lights from a 48-50 Ford truck do not fit. and mine rusted out on my 49, they look like they were prone to rusting/breaking.
