Why I have been away from the site DUW

[djv5150]

Its been awhile since I have been able to pop in and post.
I have been restoring a 1946 Ford 1/2 ton pickup flathead V8, it was in a barn in MA for the past 25 years, I will post the picks of what it looked like when she arrived in FL at my house and were shes at now.

The old ford PU's are my favorite vehicles ever! Looking good so far

[mrjones]

Good job! I've got one just like it, but it needs to be rebuilt - completely. I've owned my since I was in the 6th grade.

Here's a pic of mine from when I moved last time.

Looks Great Dave!
You need to see all the flatheads at the Don Garlits Museum sometime...
DG told us he has a special place in his heart for FHs, as do I!
Great bodywork btw...You are a Testimony to Garage Restoration, Pal!

Looking good Dave. Maybe you can bring it to the picnic next year along with the AJV MM :banana2:

[Hotrauder]

Wow, Dave. Way beyond impressive. Great project and wonderful restoration and a fun ride. Good on you, my friend. Dennis

[CBT]

Pretty neat looking.

[djv5150]

Thanks to all, it has been quite a job doing it in the garage, it 95% complete just waiting for a few parts to get here.
I want to get it out of the garage to get 2003 or 04 CV and i'm going to make it into a 2 door convertible with a marauder 32v engine. As you can tell by my MM I like one of kind stuff

[Chevyguy]

Nice work, I would have modded the flat head though :)

Dave, i've soooo been wanting to do that.. :bows:

There was aguy in Tampa with a MM real cheap like 3K needs motor. Why not do a real MM if you can get it cheap?

I was thinking, the best already done convertible top that would prolly fit wonderfully without too much hassle, would be a top from a 70's Impala.

[djv5150]

I didnt want to take the heat for chopping a MM

At least it will be the 1st MM convertible. Yeah yeah I know the concept, but that's a CV wanna be.

[ImpalaSlayer]

sweet man, you didnt waste anytime at all on that thing, unlike my self :rolleyes:
