If it has tits or wheels, you can expect trouble.

Some of those 5 minute jobs that take at least 4 hours are being encountered on a daily basis, therefore things are slow.

Here is the AC connected and pressurised

I repositioned the AC receiver drier behind the grill to make the engine bay look a little tidier.

Now it’s starting to look real pretty.

I’m just not convinced with this bumper bar, I would like to try a more luxurious bumper bar like off a later model of maybe a customline, it’s got to be wide enough. Bit like the ring bro’s 56 bumper.

So it’s back to the grind! Having fun.

ImageLooks real class. Re the front bumper comment. I am not sure how a Customline with its end peaks would fit in with the flat frontal panels. I am using 38 Chev bumpers on my 49F1.

Looking good there , but i'm curious if you had any difficulties fitting the front panels together ?
The hood latch panel that runs across the front is supposed to be on top of the front fenders , well both mine were .

To try where there is little hope, is to risk failure.
Not to try at all, is to guarantee it!

Hi again folks, I haven’t been happy with the front bumper, so I’m shopping around for a better bumper, then I find this one in my garden junk, well I modified it, shortened it and BINGO!

Image

It’s a great improvement over the standard one..I’m just wondering if it can be chromed?

That looks fantastic. I someone wasn't familiar with F100's they wouldn't know it didn't come that way.
