Good evening Olivof,

That's very impressive, immaculate work! The flareside bed is very stylish, especially with that gorgeous wood you've fashioned for it. Somehow, I get the feeling this is not your first automobile restoration.

I have completed quite a few cars and trucks in the last 30 years. I run a two man shop man and each show restoration takes about a year to complete. This one is taking about 16 months because of so many modifications and additions. I have about three weeks left on this one.
Thanks,
Fred....

Well,

If you don't like it when it is done, you can just send it down to Brandon, and I will make sure it has a good home!

Those Tail Lights with the Wood Bed, really make it pop. I like the tailgate hinges too!

Did you paint the truck or do you have someone that does it?

Well I think it will need to stay in this area for quite a while, but thanks for the offer anyway.
The original tail lighs look too much like trailer lights, these bring back the Ford look.
Eveything from stripping,sandblasting, mechanical repairs, including paint work I do in my shop.
No sublet work goes out of my shop. I did send the grill and hood mldgs.out to have them chrome plated.
The next posting will be the completed truck..
Thanks to all.
Fred...
