Beautiful truck Mike! Congrats on the find.

Thank you A Bones! I was actually going to ask for his info as I noticed he was banned here. I decided to go 12 volt, the hot shot is another great reason to do so.

Thanks Chris! Body work eats up soooo much time. I have that one panel nearly done at this point which is great. I'm buttoning up the areas of the trunk that sit right over the gas tank. I don't want to have to weld over it once it's in and full of fuel, that just makes me nervous. I shouuuuld...

Hey Phil! Thank you for the suggestions, other than a timeframe I think I'm doing alright. I've been doing stuff like that for the past two years here. I come in on weekends to cut the grass, clean the driveway (it floods and fills up with neighboring garbage and rocks), I pack items for his...

Thanks Phil, that’s been at the back of my head too. It’s a small company, there’s only 4 of us and that includes the owner. He’s a super great guy but either way I’m making myself as invisible as possible. So far I’ve only worked on it in the morning, I come in around 5:30-6 and work until...

Aweeesome! Thank you so much! It runs if you pour gas down the carb. I bought it with no gas tank, I'm assuming it was rotted and thrown out at some point. I'll be hitting you up as I get her going. If you could check for a tailpan that would be amazing as I can't even make sense of how it all...

Hey guys! Looking for a decent salvageable tailpan and rear passenger fender for a 46-48 Ford. My car is a '47 tudor sedan and my tailpan is unrecognizable swiss cheese. The fender is salvageable with a lot of work, but if I could find a better one to replace it with and save some time that...

That’s kind of the plan, I remember when these were a whole lot more expensive and I didn’t think I’d ever get to own one. It does have quite a bit of rust for me to repair and I would eventually like to get the upholstery done as the original stuff is pretty stinky and I know the boss lady...

Awesome, thank you! I had seen this site but was actually curious about the fit. Good to know!

I’ve been debating the conversion to 12 volt for a bit to be honest. My main concerns are cost and safety. I live in Miami, this city is notorious for its bad drivers, I see people flying down the highway staring at their phones daily. Are my taillights/brake lights going to be bright enough...

I'm in Miami, but will travel for parts! :D

Hey Chris! Yeah the rockers are rough! They'll be the first thing I get to once it's back on the road. It's not toooo rough, just rough enough. :p The shop is my job's warehouse. The owner is nice enough to let me keep it here and work on it before we open and after hours.

Yeah, it won't be perfect, just running, driving and stopping. I can get to the rest of it later on. :)

Bought this little fella about 8 months ago and I wasn't too sure what to do with it. I need a new daily as my wife and I share a car and she starts school next year so I figured why the hell not? Here goes nothing! I'm giving myself 3 months to get it roadworthy. Plans are to fix the trunk...

Beautiful work! Now comes the real workout. :D
