    Yup and a 34 too boot! Has the stainless trim and bullnose. Trim was painted over but is in nice shape!

    I just went back to page #1 to reread. Originally, I thought "cheap ass" might mean quality would suffer. I was wrong. I love the attention to detail and your ability to move a unique build forward. They aren't all ALL Fords. :rolleyes:

    Lucky for you Wayne usually never runs out of beer, and I'm sure he would rather have it delivered in a 34 pickup, or 2

    Wish bone brackets finished and bolted on. They will be welded along the bottom edge of the frame and a small weld around the top, to avoid welding across the rails. I wanted them to sort of a bridge girder shape to break up the big slab sides of the 34 frame. The exposed bolt threads will be topped off with stainless acorn nuts, functioning as jam nuts. The brackets are threaded and bolted through from the back. image.jpeg

    image.jpeg Spreader bars done today. Trimmed and polished hex head bolts for the rear and stainless capped swap meet bumper bolts for the front. Just need to make nerd bar brackets and bolt them on.

    And finished off another goofy project. Frozen spray bombs dollar store glitter and "Poof!" Shit flake glitter snap on tool box. Pictures don't do it's truly horribleness justice.
    But for twenty dollars at a garage sale who cares? It was full of tools too!

    Not all snap in the box, but a bunch of sockets were.

    The spray cans were frozen from sitting in my shed. I forgot to get them until it was almost too late. But they dried out ok so it will stick.
