Not good news on the wagon........time and money.........again.
The truck looks like it should at this stage. I know it will have quality workmanship fit and finish when it's done.

All healed up?

yeah - pretty much good to go since May so I can't use that as an excuse for slow progress.
I keep putting it together and then taking it back apart. Working on plumbing








The wagon has distracted / disrupted progress on the truck as I took most of the interior and power train out of it before sending it to the shop.









Then the wonderful news - while repairing the metal damage, the paint peeled off in sheets with an air gun!




So it now is a complete repaint!

[oletrux4evr]

All healed up?

another update:

Here is the pair of support braces - one original and one modified.




I still need to weld back in the support gusset to the modified one and then do all the same stuff to the other one..
I just noticed that ford didn't make a left and a right bracket! I am sure that saved them $0.20 a truck


However, I suspect it will be a little bit before I get back to this project
x



Seems I have also modified some tendons!
The original cut was straight across but after the surgeon put the pieces back together I have some additional decorations!
At this moment it time, I am hoping to ha be out of this for Key West in May

Love it!

Nuf Said!

[cstmwgn]

A little more progress





Still some details to work out with the condenser location as it will required modifications to the hood latch support brackets.
Then I need to finalize all the plumbing. I welded up most of the holes in the firewall so I need to figure out new entry points for the heater hoses and a/c lines.
