Sweet! And coming from the Langley shop, you'll no doubt build something fabulous to go with the 409!(430)

When mocking up at the weekend I slipped the bed into place to get an idea where my rear lights wanted to be so last night I hacked out the brackets in some 1/4" stainless plate.
Firstly I made a template, wanted them to mirror the shape of the hinge brackets but mount from the other side of the stake bed pockets.
The lights have angled mounting on them and I needed a slight bend in the mounting area of the plate, just bending gave too large a radius so I partially slit it with a cutting disc and then bent it and welded it up, this gave a nice tight bend.
Just need a polish and they will be done, simple but effective.

I love your attention to detail, that's just one of the details that separates the Pros from us amateurs.

Very nice work. I like how you say hack but it comes out like candy. Haha Nice work on your fence too. The cab will look much different with that new fire wall grafted into it.Ryan

Gomez popped in this afternoon to help out with the first part of the body, I sometimes wish I had been born an octopus as trying to get things true needed several hands
We placed the cowl section in the correct place and took lots & lots of measurements, we then transferred these to a sheet of 1/2" plywood, next we cut the shape into it and then slowly sanded it to shape. Just a few screws holding it the moment until I glass the floor in for good.
I know it don't look much but your looking at 4 hours work here

It's looking better already. That measuring twice before cutting always takes more time. But it is sure better than doing it over.Ryan

Yep the little things often take a ton of time for what someone will discount as not being an integral part of the build! At most shows I've been to, most people are fixated on the chrome, billet and paint job, nobody seems to realize what it took to get to the point of adding the final touches!"

Scratching around for something to do last night so thought I would fit the radiator, The rad is a 32 ford aluminium jobbie so most of the brackets had to go and be replaced by something more suitable, made them up in 1/8" aluminium and welded them in place, the upper mount I reshaped and used.
Bottom mounts are a set of stainless 32 Ford mounts.
The bars are 3/8" thick wall stainless tube with 5/16" rose joints screwed into them.

Your saying the spring and bolt are stainless RIGHT. the bracket would be aluminum?? As I'm not familiar with early ford stuff. Looks greatCharlie
