I got the color on! It is a little hard to tell what it is going to look like in the sun but so far I really like it. I don't know if it has dried enough to tell how flat it is going to end up. Hopefully I'll put it togeather tomorow...

Here is my chopper. It is a 113 inch rigid with a springer front end. Fast as hell and a blast to ride.

I forgot to mention I used POR15 under all my parts. I have had a gallon of this stuff for 5-6 years and its still good. I keep putting it in new cans becuse it gets sealed shut and I have to cut it open but the stuff is still good. This time it must have had a air leek becuse it had the top...

Speedway motors sells one for the flathead fords using your original clutch linkage thru the adapter. I don't think its all that bad on price. Im planning on buying one for my truck. But I understand if you want to build your own. I try to do that as much as possible.

Well I got my bed, running boards, and rear fenders primed last night. I have to wait on the tailgate until I get the lettering to finish it off but hated seeing all this work sit and rust.

I say build what you like. Chevy's are much cheaper. I have always been a GM guy but I like to keep it in the same family. A ford is a ford keep it that way. I lucked out and got a flathead 8, its just cool! Im not sure what I would have done if it was anything else. I guess to me its...

I think I am finally done welding for a while! I finished up the tailgate with the brackets and chains. I also added some trailer strap eyes mounted flush to the bottom of the bed to strap things in. Like my chopper. I'll have to add some welds when I get the bed flipped, I have them just...

Thanks Mr. Clown! I'm happy with it so far. Getting a little burned out with it lately so I think it's time to paint the back half and drive it! That always helps me get motivated again.

I managed to get my tailgate welded up and mounted. All I need is the ford lettering and the bars to look like OEM. Its a lot heavier than I thought it would turn out but thats ok. Tomorow I hope to finish up the latch. I decided to cut out pieces to go inside and use the chain hook like...

Nice Drewski. I didn't see that on your build.

Good morning guys! I got a little further on the bed build the last couple days. I made a set of taillight buckets, and frenched them into the roll pan. I pulled the licence plate mount off my Cutlass until I finde one for the truck and mounted it. I want to add a hitch behind the licence...

Ive been busy but got a lot done. Some updated pictures... Next step is to french in my 1950 Pontiac taillights and use a oldsmobile licence plate flip mount to finish off the roll pan. I want to put a hitch behind the licence. Then the tailgate!

I got a little more done last night. I finished up the front of the bed, framed it in with 1x1 tubing and sheeted it. I mounted my new fenders. I started the lower part of the bed sides extending them down to the bottom of the fender. I am going to build a roll pan so I trimed them off in...

I started a build thread. See my updates in there if you like.

That bring me to today... I bought a set of really good rust free original rear fenders of a 54 from RPM Motors in Albert Lee MN. These things were cherry and well worth the cash, not even a dent in them. I had to shell out $240 each for them but still $110 under new and almost ready to bolt...

This past weekend I started the build of my bed, I posted a few pictures in the other area but wanted to add it to here. I had a friend help me make the cuts and bends friday afternoon. I put the bed sides together saturday and started assemboling the floor. I decided to make the floor look...

I started a reverse hood tilt a month ago but its giving me a little trouble getting it how I wanted to I am taking a break from it for know. Here is what I made for it so far... I made the front piviot bar to mount acrost the front of the radiator as pictured but recently changed it. I'll...

I was asked to start a build thread so here I go. I bought this truck down south of Wichita Ks this spring and have been working on it most the summer. Tha first project was cutting off the drip rail, sand blasting, leading, and putting it up. It was completely rusted thru, I pulled it off by...

Yeah I might have gone a little overboard with the 12ga but for an extra $20 I thought it was worth it. I hate dents.
