bpletcher55 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 working on this is harder than i thought it would be , belt line is proving to be difficult but i think i have it ,made a FORD badge using the emblem from the 38 hood side ,cut it out and sanded it from the back side ti thin it down ,glued a small rod on to the back and drilled a whole in the cab to mount it ,this way i can remove it as needed ,started on the out line for the front engine cover that the grill is mounted to , also made vent for the engine compartment . let me know how it looks , comments good or bad , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
