Thanks for the education on the boomerangs. No, Monkey's don't have them.

LowKat that's a great looking 48. Like the bumpers and lights up front too.

Peace,
Jim

This is my favorite thread so I think it is OK to contribute again.

 

here's my other '48 today
a parts truck
for sale on the HAMB
1948 Ford F1 (price dropped again) - THE H.A.M.B.

 

^^^ 17 more weeks and it'll be free. I got dibs!

 

I took my truck for a spin on Sunday. I finished installing the gas pedal and throttle cable...then hooked up a few temporary wires so that the ignition switch worked. I still need to install the hood and rear fenders, or running boards, but this was the first drive down the road for this truck in probably 20 years...13 of that was while I've had it stored behind the barn:

 

Dan, good for you, I'm happy for you, feels good eh ....looks good too!!

 

 

Tom, looks like you have a good start on it, the frame looks great

 

Dan, the truck looks beautiful. Who knows how many more years the truck would be sitting behind the barn had you not gotten the F1 frame from me.

 

Hey Dan,
Beautiful truck! It looks nice driving down the road set against those California Hills. You need to drive it down to Gilroy for the Garlic Festival!

While I do consume more than my fair share of garlic, we've lived in Morgan Hill for 25 years and have never been to the Garlic festival in our neighboring town of Gilroy. We do, however, go to the Mushroom Mardi Gras if we're in town!!

 

No doubt...Ilya...you lit the fire that I needed to get going!!!

There's still a lot to do, but it's getting there!!

 

Dan, I like the dark green, I had a truck that color before.........

 

OK, here goes...



















Now ordering parts and finding what is no longer available new. Spending money like I believe the Mayan Calendar is accurate in their prediction. Still looking for a hood and fender.

Later Folks...
