Canopy project

[Austin]

Probably because you were too busy spreading teh ghey in other threads...

Well, it managed to find its way to this one!!!!

Damn Mark, that looks awesome. I think canopies are one of those accessories that some trucks can pull off and some can't. I don't think one would look too good on mine, but will look killer on yours.

 

[Ranger429]

Wow! This is going to look just as nice as a set of 36D's. Absolute beauty.... You paint it yourself Mark?

 

[m78]

Thanks for all the compliments,everybody !

Ben I hope it looks good.

Scott , Same friend that painted the truck painted the shell. He's got a paint booth. All the work is in the prep and taping though.

 

[Ranger429]

Your making me want one for my 250 now.

An all black one in the near future?

great job painting by your friend.

I was thinking the same thing and then Mark said he did his truck too. Mark, is this friend the world's best kept secret, does he have a shop, or is this a hobby for him?

An all black one in the near future?

That was the original plan with that old brown one, all black with black tinted windows. Thought it would look killer on there and also make the truck look taller. What a dumbass I was for letting it go.

Scott , I've got another that I bought for parts that is structurally intact , which is hard to come by. The door was broke like 95% of them.
I'd give it to you if you were closer.

And my painter friend does some here and there,he's retired Norfolk Fire Dept.
But he loves his shop,
While we were working on my shell, there was a guy came in with a 72 Challenger that wanted some work done, I think I have pictures.

Edit : Started a thread on " 72 Challenger"

Mark,
It does look great! I look forward to seeing it on your truck! I would have loved to have one of the Ford shells for Burt, but couldn't find one out here at the time, so I had one made by a company called "Lifetime". It's aluminum, lightweight, and custom shaped to the rake of the cab, both the back and the side. I'm happy with it, but sure wish I could have found one like you did had the resources to restore one! Good job!

Here is mine:

Ben....it is a good thing that you don't know where the 'cookie jar' of Ford parts are and you don't live close......what are you needing? I have a good running 351/400 ???? not sure what is in there ...all I know is that it has about 40k on the rebuild...parts truck stored in the cookie jar...

Mark..wave as you pass....
