I agree with Mike and Kevin, Greg. Great Job on the shave. Radiusing the corners would look real bitchin!!! Can't wait to see what new scheme you will be puting on the Uni. Got a few ideas of my own for the 63. TR

Nice work so far Greg. I know it's in the tedious category but when you finish it'll look very good!

It's very tedious work guys - I'm not complaining though, having a good time. I only wish it was moving a little faster is all. I wanted it painted this year - I'll have the body work done but paint may be an issue.
Thanks Guys, I think I'll be happy with it.

Use a catalized primer after the body work is done and you can expose it to the weather and drive it till you can get it painted.
Lookin good just take your time and you will be done sooner than you think.

Thanks Mike. I like your idea to radius the door corners - that will be next. Since they are the only sharp corner on the whole roof doing that will tie it all together very well - won't be too tough to do. Only issue will be making it work with the flare in the A pillar.

I've seen it done on other trucks and it puts the finishing touch on the truck.
I would like to eliminate the wing window for a one piece window too.Don't know if its been done on our trucks but I think it would look nice.

Shawn (Shawns Fords) did the one piece window on his 64 - looks really sharp. He had to cut a section from the hinge pocket to clear the window, he siad it was quite abit of work. It is either Bob's F 100s or CPP who has the kit. I like my vent windows but considering the other stuff I am doing, hmm.
I saw a pic once of the inside of his door after he did it - can't find that. Here is a pic from his album of the outside though.

I like the idea of 1 piece windows. I've been contemplating doing that on Money pit. If not Money put , then definately on the crew that I'm planning. Would be a nice, subtle change. Red

Not to hijack your thread but you got me interested in the 1 pc windows. I found the thread. The pics are not in the thread but there is a link to photo bucket with the pics. page 5 and 6. Pretty interesting. Red

Got one more stake pocket filled. A little work on the roof/bedrail seam. Welded up a few MMHs (Miscellaneous Mystery Holes). All in all not alot of excitement but at least I got something done.
