Got Fins?
All three are looking great!
Not a lot of action this weekend. A lot of driving around and finding parts. It got up to 112 degrees in Northern California and moving this stuff around in that heat was brutal. Here are my finds.

35' ford front end, going to run a split wishbone.

36' ford pickup bed. I bought it without the tailgate so I'm on the hunt for a GMC one which seems hard to find so if you have one, PM me!

Some 35' ford wire wheels. The guy I bought them from had them sandblasted and painted, then realized he couldn't use them.

Picked up this cast iron air compressor that I'm going to use as a fuel tank. I'm pretty sure it's rusted inside, but I don't want to cut it open and have to weld it back together. Any ideas for getting rid of the rust? A few buddies mentioned electrolysis or acid.
That's all for this weekend! Next weekend I'm going to focus on getting the front and rear suspension sound so that I can start mocking up ride height.
