not sure if it was the smartest thing I ever did, but I bought this hacked `49 (?) F1 cab... It looked so sad out in the rain, I just had to make a crappy offer and take it home.
Very poor quality chop, filler, rust, no braces when cutting, no floor or firewall, the centre of the windshield frame caved in about an inch when they chopped it so the sunvisor and planned plastic windshield came to the resque, until he finally gave up.
I`ve got a lead on a `56 Hemi to make my Mopar heart feel comfy in the Ford... hope that pans out [P
My buddy owns an F1 on a fully factory restored frame but he wants to build it on a different frame so I will buy the f1 frame for mine. Looks like I`ve got the start of my shop truck...
I can`t say I really like the looks of the front sheet metal of the trucks, so plan is to fab it myself and give it a bit more shape. [P
