Got some paint on it! I did not do the top of the cab and the doors because I am now starting on the power windows and auto locks for the doors. I will be chasing the doors around on saw horses so no need to scratch them up.
The 49 Plymouth Bumpers chrome was shot and with all the butchering I did Paint was the best way to finish it off,Besides I am a cheap skate and chrome these day is Nuts in price!
Made the sun visor from a beat up stock 49 hood and made a leading edge folded over and spot weld every 1 1/2 inch like stock Ford. The holes are my idea.
47 car hood ornament from Roger and a 47 small V8 that Pete gave me. Thanks guys! The Truch hood has the same curve as the car and with the truck holes filled in I like it.
The sun visor is just about done and to avoid scratching the cab top when I was fitting it I left it in primer. Now will use nutserts and crown head straight "slot" 5/16 screws in the cab and it will look like the Factory did it! But with the crowd I run with they will know it is bogus! But some might think it is a factory option. I do not like the big ugly attach brackets on the rain gutters.
Bit of a rake but not much different from stock.
