We got rid of the black Ford truck today. We are regrouping on it. Probably a new cab, well a different one anyway.

Out with one Ford and in with another!

And they say on a quiet Saturday night you can hear the Chevrolets rusting away! Seems like the Fords are similarly afflicted!

Hahahaha. I love when people tell me they have an all original 100%rust free car. There is no such thing at this point. They all have some somewhere!

Like Neil Young says, "Rust never sleeps."

I'd fix that cab, but not on the clock. It wouldn't be perfect by a long shot but it would last longer than I will.

I'm sure the cab will get used by somebody. We're not going to scrap it. It was done about 3 years ago and it was already rusting through the body work

It's a Christmas miracle! No rust repair today or for the next foreseeable future. Not sure if I posted pictures of this car on the forum when it got dropped off at my house like 6 months ago. It was an unplanned unscheduled delivery. A good friend of a customer have this car was his dad's he let a guy who claim to be a fabricator mechanic highly skilled trained professional work on it. Somehow he convinced him to cut all the Lincoln suspension out and put a crown Vic front end in it along with a LS . The guy knew enough to make himself dangerous and by that I mean he could operate a grinder and knew how to turn a welder on. Other than that that's about it. This car was so poorly put together that it sat like 4 inches taller in the front than the back, when we unloaded it off the trailer half of the welds that hold the front end in broke and the car went pigeon-toed and stuck itself between the fenders of the trailer. I had to patch it back together enough to get it in the shop. I've got the front end and the motor and transmission out of it. We will be ordering a team 321 narrowed crown Vic crossmember like we put in that 53 Ford that I got running and driving this last summer. It puts the track with a half inch wider than the factory rear end so it will be perfect. I will be cutting the frame off right at the front of the cowl up the body and at the core support and building my own frame rails that are one the right width and two structurally sound. The highly trained professional fabricator guy who had it before me butchered up the frame rails so bad that there is no saving them. And they're not even the right width to put the crown Vic front end in. So while we are waiting for the narrowed crossmember to come in I will be pulling measurements off the blue Ford since it is still here awaiting some window trim parts so I can start building my crossmember. I'll keep you guys updated as I'm working on it this week
