She's a beauty! Enjoy!

It's looking good Ken. Now don't think it's to nice to drive.

Anteek29 · 10-09-2017, 09:37 AM

Love it, Love it, Love it!

GB SISSON · 10-09-2017, 09:41 AM

Very nice! Now get out there and break in that new engine.

RalphM · 10-09-2017, 09:47 AM

Beautiful! Looks like the hard work has paid off! Always a good feeling when you can enjoy something that you have worked that long on.
I'm sure you'll be smiling ear to ear driving that one!

I thought the same thing when I "finished" my '51 f1 years ago. Problem is, I'm such a sucker for perfection I keep inventing more things to do to my lil jewel of a truck.

Now the best part comes: you can drive your truck. Very nice job; it took me more than 10 years to my '34. Have fun.

On the flip side.

Ford whisperer · 10-10-2017, 09:03 AM

Hey thanks jseery. How'd you fix my sideways pic? I am new to this forum and still trying to post stuff correctly. I have new pics of my f1 after a recent repaint and want to orient them right side up.

RAF · 10-10-2017, 09:50 AM
