1937 Ford Panel
Well I figured out how to download photos, so here's my 37 panel resurrection. I purchased this October 2010. It took me until spring of 2016 to complete. Countless hours repairing dents, rust, cracks in fenders. I have also added pictures to an album.

Re: 1937 Ford Panel
Spectacular I would say. I love the 37 truck grill and it looks as if you did plenty of work to get yours looking like that. Congratulations! The truck is beautiful.

Re: 1937 Ford Panel
Beautiful job on an unusual truck. Now that you can post pics, maybe post a couple more taken during the restoration. Thanks for posting!

Re: 1937 Ford Panel
That's one of those restorations that is far from easy unless that truck was very complete. 1937 one year only style with a relatively rare Budd type body is looking really good. That's quite a feat. Time to have some fun with it on the road as soon as the weather will hold.

Re: 1937 Ford Panel
Thanks for all the pics in the album, Ray. Shows true dedication--and far more patience than I have! Beautiful job on all those curves, swoops, and swales. I'm sure you have no finger prints left after all the sanding. But that's good--the authorities can't identify you when you speed by!

Re: 1937 Ford Panel
Fantastic job!
Just looked at your album, man that was a lot of work. Body work has never been one of my strong points. Looks like you know what your doing there. Congrats on completing it. |
