Well, I am pretty far behind on photo so here is a major update.
New wheels and tires are on and ready to go.
New chrome handles are in place and working nicely.
Inner fenders are painted black and front clip is ready to go on.
Sheet metal is on and aligned, as good as it could be. There are some issues I've still not figured out. Drivers side has an odd gap that doesn't seem to be adjustable. Oh well, its a work truck right.
Gauge panel is painted and new gauges are installed.
New upholstered seat is done and ready for install. I'm very happy with this seat, best $300. I've spent on the truck I think.
Door glass and new felts etc. are in place, new wing window rubber as well. These doors were a challenge. Wow, but they came out nice.
Back glass is in with new rubber. Had to put this one in twice as I installed the rubber backwards the first time.
Inside shot of the door glass. The door glass and the back glass are all original to the truck and have the cool little Ford stamp on them. I used vinegar to clean them along with steel wool. Took all the nasty hard water spots off.
As it sits today. Mechanically is all done, I'll finish the paint this summer when it warms up. Looking at a 5 speed swap, if anyone out there has some advice on that I'd love to hear it. Also want to upgrade to discs up front and add AC eventually.
Thats it for now, I am working on the race car now. Check out that build thread on the Canned Monster.
