 BEFORE
 
AFTER


Finished the back of Dick's 40






I finally finished the tail of Dick's 40. Wow, a much harder job than expected. I had to work over the tail pan to get a decent fit but all is well. I have 1 more day of rust repair and on to the body work. I am really looking forward to shooting some paint.

My new 35 Ford pickup




After a little wheeling and dealing, look what showed up in my garage. It's an early 35 Ford pickup. It has the cool A pillars and doors with the garnish moldings. As you can see there are a ton of parts. Not sure what I am going to do with this one yet. Could be for sale, could be a builder, could be a keeper. I just haven't decided yet. I plan doing a little tinkering on it and see what happens.
