Paul Payne, thanks for your input.  I've a modified foose 56 kit in progress.            

   As per your suggestions,which i welcome,  i did contemplate moving the front wheel fenders but decided against.   I understand the reason for moving them this wasn't the build for that....    I'd never done the headlights on the angle so that was the choice.   I do see some room for improvement in the grill but I'm also happy with it, so it's staying as is.  I welcome your feedback but things are in final stages of completion.  

Took kind bout the body work.   I build what i like.    I still make mistakes but you learn from them and your skills improve.              

    My 50 Ford puckup I'm building makes this look mild.  Front wheel opening is definitely not stock there.    Might start a build thread on that soon.   It's getting modern buld theme but has 49 merc  parts blended into it.   If someone else is encouraged to start cutting kits up I'm happy.

Glad to see this is back on the work bench. Great looking body work.

Understand about things being almost done. It's a great looking truck and I look forward to seeing more of your builds- both WIP and pau!

Missed this one the first time around. Very nice work customizing this pickup. Well thought out and cohesive design.

Bit more progress here.  Came across issue of tailshaft fitting.   Due to lowering the tailshaft was hitting part of the frame.  Solved this by adding a piece of cut down tubing to allow fittment of the tailshaft.   Frame and engine has been attached.   Just working on the exhaust system.  Getting closer to completion.  Thanks for looking

Well finally this is nearly finished.   I believe radiator hose and it's finished.    Will get some better pics. Didn't want to move, to make sure wheels stay where they should.  Thanks for looking.  Three  years in the build but life has been a little intense but good to be pretty much finished.  I'm really happy with end result.    Had fun building it which is the whole idea.    Comments welcome.
