Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Mark, I'll say it again, you guys are an inspiration.
I just sent this link to my buddy who is taking the 48 from me. He wants to do the paint and I've told him that if he follows your steps he can do it.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Just now saw the pics Mark posted on the finished buffing. Between the two of us we got the front end put back in place. Still have a lot of lining up stuff, then in can be tightened down. Here's a couple pics I took a little while ago...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks Ray, it feels good to see in going back together. Will still be awhile, to get things aligned, electrical hook up, etc.. Then back to sanding. That hood is a big piece...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
WOW! That is beautiful, and the attention to detail on that truck is very impressive!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looks real nice Jim, especially the chrome grille. Did you add it during the repair? I see in your avatar that it was previously painted body color.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks Mark, and yes I added the chrome grill, it didn't fit worth a crap, but Mark and I reworked it. It did change the appearance a great deal, I'm happy with it...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Back in the shop this morning, I installed the bumper and splash apron, then the hood latch panel. Don't have headlight bezels installed, will wait till we align the lights. Mark and I then went to the nursing home to be with Aggie when they give out candy for trick or treaters. Great Grandma got to hold here new great granddaughter (3 weeks old). Was a great night. Oh here's a few pics...Jim
