Frame looks great. What did you use to get it so smooth?

X2. Man that's nice. I'm looking out side at my frame right now wondering if I should start stripping it all the way down.
Did you have the frame dipped too? Were the leaves removed to paint?

what is your color choice

 

[camomog]

Looks sweet, love the attention to details and the hood latches look cool.

Looks awesome! That dash is gonna look great. Your buddy Ulysses is a good guy, I've delt with him a few times in the past. Good call farming out the paint and body work. Mine took me a year to get ready for paint. Hopefully we'll run into each other this summer.

 

[Raskew]

Thanks guys for the compliments.

The hood latches are from Aerocatch; http://www.aerocatch.com/automotive-home.html.

I can't take credit for discovering them, I saw them on a local Bronco and just had to have them. Way slicker looking than your standard hood pins.

The paint is as follows; Silver - Chyrsler PS2 Bright Silver
Blue - Toyota # 8P1 Speedway Blue

looks like it was a very solid tub. how did you attach the braces for the door openings.

 

[stupidboy]

Hey man that looks pretty good.

 

[Raskew]

Fordguy, I tack welded a square piece of metal onto the door jambs and then welded the 1" square tubing to those tacked on squares.

Thanks stupidboy.
