Just curious if you got my pm about the bodywork on your 53.

 

OLdfordcoupe, I am home on sat/sun. I am taking the frame to be sand blasted today!!! I tried to save some money and wire brush it but that was terrible.

bulldogcheif, Ill check my pm now to see if there is any new ones.

working on the hood

 

 

Lookin good! I'm glad someone is making progress on their restoration.

 

I am having computer problems with the home pc!!!! I do have some more picture and will post them soon as my wife can get at&t to fix our junk! I have got alot done to my frame this week. I have cut and fit front half of frame and welded all those holes I don't think I will be needing all the way down both sides. I will be putting conduit inside the drivers side frame and running stainless gas/brake lines tonight! then start welding up the 3/16 steel to the frame this weekend. Its on its way to looking like it may roll again!

 

Well here are a few picts for you all that dont hang out in the old truck section!

 

Looking good! I like your scaffold setup as well.
Beautiful countryside too.

 

Thanks Berry,The scaffold material has been nice to work with on this project. I welded it all out yesterday. Now focused on the rear susp/frame work. Hope to be posting those picts soon

 

here is a couple more









Although the step notch is not complete yet, it is getting closer to being a roller!!!

 

I have more picts in the 1953 section under (boxing my frame) step by step pictures. I just like to share a few with the Mississippi crowd too. Barry let me know if its ok to do this.

 

ok i just started following this forum to check out the truck...looks great man!! i got a friend who bough a 64 f100 and me and him have been restoring it....just need a truck bed..your making some great progress!!

 

Yeah, That's fine, keep posting here for the members that don't get to the 53 forum. It's easier for members to check it out in the Mississippi forum.

 

You must of got busy when I left you saturday. I see you got started welding your notch in. You gave me some incentive I actually worked on my truck this weekend.
