SHOP UPDATE: Tonight's progress on the 41

 I spent most of the day working on the AC system. i had to decide where and how to mount all the parts and do all the plumbing. I had to order a very expensive crimping tool to crimp the ends on all the new lines. I better be doing a bunch more AC installs in upcoming projects.

 Next is to install all the interior parts of the system.

 My wife Sue handled all the prep work on the bed getting it ready for primer.

Tonight I slipped it in the booth and laid down a couple of coats of primer. Next is the guide coat and start some minor body work. Hope to paint it middle of next week.

SHOP UPDATE: Just came in from the shop, here is today's progress.

 I painted the headers with high temp paint inside and out. I added a bead of high temp silicone to the face. tomorrow they will be ready to install.

 next was cleaning and painting the pulleys, dam[ner and water pump. Once they were dry I started the installation process.

 Here I fit the radiator so I could measure for the hoses and ordered them.

After working over the mounting holes I was able to install the Offenhauser finned valve covers. I also installed the new chrome starter, looks great!

 Here is the new water pump, vibration dampner and pulley,

Last but not least the one wire alternator and the AC compressor and brackets.

SHOP UPDATE: Sheridan MT car show

SHOP UPDATE: John's 41 Ford pickup

Here is John's very red 41 Ford cab on its new chassis. I had a few friends come over and help me set the cab for the last time. Fits like a glove.  Now the real work begins. lol
