48 Ford PU build

The chop looks good JSC. I like the way you pancaked the roof. It makes it look sleek like the concept. Nice.

Plan to run a cut down Chevy grill as well and need to get the hood mounted before I can finish this up. I would like to tilt the hood from the front and mount the first grill bar to it. Here are a few pics of the prototype hinges to lift it strait up and back so it wont hit the rest of the grill below. This is were I am currently at on the project. I have been struggling to get some bracing back in the hood so I can mount the latches in the back and hinges in the front . I scrounged some remote hood latches from a couple of Isuzu trooper in the junk yard for the rear latches. I hope the Ford doesn’t reject these foreign intruders.

The grille bars look really cool stepped like that.

Hey! Are you still working on this?

 

[JSC]

Still working on it. I got orders out to CA. and have been in the middle of training and moving since mid Jan. I made it out here and got it in the auto hobby shop on base, but they wouldn't let me do any welding. I think I've found a place I can work on it and use my welder,so work will start again real soon.

Anyone live in the San Diego are?

JSC,

I have to publically poke you about using Bowtie tin on that blue oval...you know I have to do it! It does look good though...but then, I'd expect nothing less from both you and well, your choice in front end sheet metal!!

Keep an eye out for a PM coming your way...
