Hi Guys, Is it a good idea to anchor the ends to the bottom of the cab, which is just sheet metal? There must be a better and more secure place. If in sheet metal, how about backing using a long metal plate, say 4 inches by 12 inches? Thanks for your input. (grounded for now) Sal

Hi Guys, I'm not saying that I drive fast, but hey, it is a Ford V-8. A few of my nervous (male) passengers have been saying that I should fly lower and put (airline?) seat belts in the old pickup. In deference to their white-knuckling, I am considering it. But I don't know what to latch on...

I am restoring the oval instrument panel (ie the front of the tunnel) on the dash of my 1932 pickup, and am wondering what the proper paint color should be. It is painted gloss white, with gloss black under that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sal
