63 Progress pics
I haven't posted in a while but here are some current progress pics of my 63.
Painted cab
Cab going on the frame.
Starting on wiring.
I am making good progress now. I hope to finish up the wiring by next weekend so I can move on to final body assembly and then upholstery.

Nice Red!! Great work and looks like you have a lot of fans (help) getting it done!
This winter taking my down to bare metal and painting. I have finally decided on the color scheme, Root Beer Brown Metalic and Cream two tone. Going to go with brown leather interior (seat, headliner and door panels). I saw a 48 F-1 at a car show painted Root Beer Brown and it looked fantastic!

My color is the Firered Metallic Clearcoat from a late model Mustang. There are several different shades of this color. This one was the most vibrant color with a lot of pearl in it. If I can just get it all together without chipping anything, I will be happy.
Garbz - I am working on my wife to go to the F100 Nationals so as of today I am not sure. Send me a message with your phone # and I will call you.

Thanks Kevin;
I was looking at several shades of red from the 04-08 color scheme of not only Mustangs but of several Ford auto's; but yours really seems to pops out at ya on your truck.
Thanks again.

Kevin; I went to my paint supplier and scanned thru his paint chart and came up with a paint code of Ford HL called "Lazier Red". It a semi dark red metallic and it seems to be close to your color. I'm not trying to match anybody; just wanted to bring out the two tone scheme of red & black on my daughters project.
Thanks for sharing your truck pic's it gave me a glance of what I wanted to fine for hers.
O'course hers isn't a Slick, but a dentside.

P.S. looks like you installed the rear on top of the leafs , and a C-notch in the frame . is the
front axel flipped also or is that how you lowered the front or front end donor ? One more time real nice ride !

Pro Street - the front end came from a donor Camaro. I wish that I had done Dakota front end.
I am making progress on the wiring with all the Dakota Digital guges, gear selector and Climate control.
The fuse panel is close.
