1949 F1 Final Assembly

Finally got back on the project. Had a buddy lay down some Magnetic Metallic Grey paint. I took care of the wood and did the final install. Now moving forward to the cab. As I complete more I will post more pictures.

Your painter did a really nice job. Those parts look really slick. The wood and stainless look sharp, too!

Wow, I’m about 5 miles from there. We’ll have to meet up someday. Once our trucks are on the road let’s find a local show, many in our area, Somerville Friday cruise night, Neshanic station once a month, Flemington every other week. Your truck will outshine mine.
