Hi everyone ,
I painted the rear fenders last weekend and set the bed back onto the frame . Dang nasty head and chest cold sidelined me from doing much this weekend . I did attach the rear fenders with a few bolts to get them off the garage floor. There is an updated photo in the gallery . I wish I had more time to spend out there because I 'm looking forward for that first ride but there never seems to be enough time in a day . lol

 

That is looking good! I like the color scheme.

 

Thank you .

 

I am not real big on two tones but yours is very cool. I like it. Looks great and good luck.

 

Looking really nice, are you painting it yourself in the area it's sitting. I'm thinking of painting mine myself and was wondering what your setup like.

 

Looks great! Like the color combo

 

Hey guys , thanks for the comments . Yes I am doing all the work pretty much by myself . It's been a slow process starting with a frame off and working my way up and out from there . All the work has been done in my two car garage with just a 7.5 hp air compressor ,a good 220 mig welder and the tools that I bought over the years that I worked in the autobody repair business . As for the paint it's not all finished yet but whenever I get a few hours too spare that's where I am ,out in the garage fixing old cars and trucks that most people around here don't want to get involved with . As a matter of fact I just called on a pickup cab that I saw sitting less than a mile from my house.Come to find out it's a 1932 ford pickup that my neighbor bought about 20yrs ago he was going to make a hotrod out of it but he hasn't gotten around to it yet . He says it's not for sale but I've known the guy for years so I will keep in touch evey once in awhile just to see if he changes his mind . I missed a complete 1931 ford cabriolet by not keeping in touch with the owner as often as I should have but I don't feel too bad about it as it is being totally restored at the moment . I will keep updating things on the 55 as I get them done .

 

trucks looking awesome! can`t wait to see it completed!!
