1948 F1 Panel Upgrades.....

Hey guys, I will be installing the front clip, like we pulled at Besslers in a few weeks, who wants to come over and Help and Learn how-to? We will be cutting, and welding it in, here are a few pics, I will remove the front end and be ready to go when you get here, I will cook out Dogs and bugers for us, you bring the chips and your drinks, so I'll need a head count, I live at 3955 Tolbert Rd. Trenton, Ohio 45067 so run a map quest.

I just now seen this. Next weekend is not looking good either.

got it to the shop, started pulling sheet metal, and pulling those darn RED puffy van seats.....hope to have it on the new wheels by the weekend.....

Got the dog house off, next the straight axel, springs and steering box! Will do that pending weather. I will have it back on its wheels over the weekend!

Started to work on the 48 at 7, got the front leaf spring pins out, and the steering box also cut out, I will all the old front end stuff out tomorrow and clean the frame, the I will cut it out and install the Volare' clip Saturday or Sunday....Anybody want to play??
