WOW! I just spent an hour of my life reading the background on this cab. Really fascinating reading. Ken, you had more patience than I would have had on this ordeal.
I love Liz's reply to CAG17 on the first or second page of the post too. LOL Mike

Re: Cab progress (like deja vu)
So, is that inline-6 staying or will it be traded for a larger version???
And can we get some info on those hood hinges? (Looks great so far, by the way!!!)

As for the hinges, the only thing I know about them so far is that they were pricey ![]() Quote:

Re: Cab progress (like deja vu)
WOW! Ballsy doing bodywork next to the completed cab. You should look in to the bodyman's tape. It is a lot thicker to protect your panels.

Re: Cab progress (like deja vu)

Re: Cab progress (like deja vu)
That looks like the color on my 71. What is the name of that color. It looks awesome.

Re: Cab progress (like deja vu)
Ken,
Your truck is coming along really well. I love the hood hinges and the notched fenders. If you would take the following comment as constructive. Why not shave the firewall smooth where the e-brake cable use to exit? It would complete the fire wall's smoothness.

![]() Thanks all, for the comments... color is a "custom mix" based on 1971 Ford Grabber Blue. For those of you who know your color wheel, it's just a tad darker toward the red side. More pics when I get a chance.
