Recommended Posts

Very nice; your work inspires me to keep at it on my 25 AB.

I see you were a Ford guy before you got better taste.

That looks great.  Beautiful work.  I see the last pictures were taken at Yaworski's.  Is that where the work was done?  Mike

No we did it a couple miles away at one of my shops, but I store all of my restored trucks at Yaworskis, Starting to fill that place up!

Splendid job! What some people can do with a sheet of metal really amazes me. What time frame was this work carried out over?

Thanks we had to learn how to make the fenders and hood since couldn't find anyone wanting to do it at first. it was about 3 months of actually  time total actually working on truck. Problem  was, those 3 months were split up by the paving season and waiting for the motor to come back from a machine shop in the interim, so technically took a year but rebuild. But in that time did  another 27 AB (will post that too), during that time as well and a FN, which id still in Progress

It's a little late, but when you run across issues like the fenders put 'em on here. I have a card from a shop that made AB fenders for another restoration as well as all of the shop drawings of the fenders from the museum.
