Went back out and messed with the rear ride height a little.
First pic shows where it was.
Second pics shows how it is now. A slight "speed boat" stance.

You da man, Torchie.
Your vision is extra-ordinary, or ------ it's just easy for me to like your stuff.

I heard rumors Ford was going with a vintage repop called the T-Model again. The T stands for "Torchie"

 

[Torchie]

Thanks fo all the positive comments gang.....

Going to tie up a few little things on the DS today and then start on narrowing the PS rear fender.

Really nice work! The attention to detail is really impressive[cl

Personally, I would lower it even more, but that's just me. It's got that lead sled style to it that just makes me want to see it layed out.

"Second verse. Same as the first."

Started in on narrowing the PS rear fender.
For some reason I thought that this one was in the better shape of the two.[S
Pics. 1-4 Show some of the wear and tear.
Pics. 5-6 Cut is marked and made. Flange has been moved and temp clamped.
Pic.7 Shows the missing flange section that I will have to make.
It's a start.[ [ [
Thanks for looking in..........

This one should go a little easier since you have already done the other one. Won't be long now! I think you are getting it closer to that first drive! [cl

The fender may be ruff and tuff, but so are you!

[Old Iron]

I love watching you perform surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Torchie]

Missing flange piece in and the rest of it repaired.
Clamped in again to make sure all is well.

Pecking away at it. Little by little.......

New fender mounting holes drilled and old fender mounting holes being filled.
Going to tackle welding the repaired flange to the fender tomorrow.
See you all later........
Torchie

 

[Torchie]

PS rear fender narrowed and the bed extension panel welded in.
Looks just like the other side....... [ddd
Now for some decisions........
