Ford F834 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Getting there Slowly Very nice! I like the interior changes, did you add the woodgrain to your existing door panels or did you switch the whole door card? And like Gary said, it is not a race, enjoy the journey... thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always do, I have this thing where it will keep me awake if I don't finish a project. In this case each little thing is a project so I keep motivated but not discouraged. I am trying to locate an 8 ball turn signal and a couple mirrors that would be plug and play, I want like a galaxy mirror not the big swing out.

My doors were wrecked top to bottom so they had to go. THe donor doors had the chrome trim and then I like the rosewood look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if you cut out a square around the window crank like they had from the factory, or did you just leave the area alone? Seems like they usually bow inward where Ford cut out the door panel, but yours are fairly flat. When I go to do mine I was wondering if I had to cut the hole or if I could get away with leaving it for extra support... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford F834 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks! Hopefully it will help keep it a little flatter. Both the early 80/81 aluminum ones and the 82-84 plastic ones liked to warp. The only really flat ones I've seen are the power window type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Getting there Slowly That truck looks great! I like how it sits, with the rims and tires as well. Did you paint the gauge needles and other spots blue? That's kinda cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
