Had Some Nice Weather Today...
 
So I rolled the '49 out of the bunker (garage), gave it a bath and put a coat of wax on. Was a good opportunity to snap some pics.

1949, 3100 - 75 Firebird front clip, 350/350 (you guess it - 350 hp), 10 bolt rear. Original cab, front fenders and hood (not pictured) - fiberglass boards, pro's pick bed kit, dodge dakota seats.

Looking forward to finishing it up this summer!

Proof it runs :D (short video)

Man oh man you have your hands full. are you sure you want to play with these old trucks? I've been there and done it like you and i don't think i will ever stop. Congrats on the new baby, that will change everything once he or she shows up! Good luck to you and your new family, be safe.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
Yeah I'm sure I want to play with this truck, even though I've only done the nose it feels like whenever my hands on touching something on it or working on it eel the energy from it ( it's soul if you will) and it's like it was mean to be. The guy I got it off of was in a rush to go to Wyoming and I bought it for 300 dollars, yes, 300!:metal:
