    Project 47 REO

    Nothing too exciting...cut the roof in half. I flipped the cab up on the firewall so I can clean the bottom side and weld in some reinforcement for the frame mounting area....figured now was a good time since the roof is off...thing isnt as heavy as i figured...can flip it around by myself...

    Project 47 REO

    Yep it was a gold comet but I am missing the emblems. Only emblems I have is the chrome top of the hood with the "f-22" emblem and the REO lettering that runs down the center. I have chopped and sectioned that grill every way I can think of on photo shop and just cant make it look good:mad:

    Project 47 REO

    Well I was having second thoughts on doing the REO and going back to doing a 23 or 27 T. Well EVERYONE thinks I am nuts and need to just do the REO and shut up! So I started working on it again. Welded up all the non needed holes in the firewall and patched a small butchered section...
