    Ask away!:)
    I am planning some striping...... not alot.Creme on the red and vise versa.
    I plan to do the lower dash and the upper gauge panel.Nothing heavy.... but a real early 60's feel.Maybe around the guides on the 682 c's.
    I have 2 stripers I really admire.....and both have not gotten back too me.(freek'in wierdo artists:rolleyes:)
    ha ha ha
    What is not seen on the interior is the paint IN the cab(red) is flaked.
    I really like it.
    I think Jeem coined it the "Stardust room" and it stuck.


    The axle.... well there was a magnificent fabricator around these parts with a killer rep and he built the tube axle(Ken Stewart of Oakville)
    Ken would take his tubes and before madrel bending them... he would place a piece of flat stock inside and weld them..... then bend them.
    super strong.
    Ken went on to bigger and better things(Head fab man at Dream Car Garage.)
    I listen to Ken and I believe this will ride and corner(believe it or not) like we planned.
    ALL of the cars Stewart built that I had a spin in or saw drive......performed flawless.
    .....And the dumb answer.....I have had 3 cars with beams and I wanted to try this:)

    My 5 window is next and it will have the old beam:)

    WOW.

    Fabulous. And only eight years? Jeez, Jeff, they build 'em on TV in a week. :D

    Seriously, you've done an amazing job, and no matter how many hands were involved, the final product's always the responsibility of the Art Director. Stance, parts, fit, finish -- you done good, pal.

    HA ha ha

    thanks Dave,John and everyone.
    To be honest, Neil kept asking"watch think?" "You Like it?" "Your not saying anything"

    Frankly..... I was totally stunned(no jokes pleeze)
    It took me 3 days a least to blat out my emotions like a 5 yearold with a new hotwheel.
    Has anybody ever had that happen?

    The interior is flaked in an orange and silver(big daddy flake)
    the color is the same color the truck was in 58-62...a Ford factory color....
    1952-53 Coral red.
