Howdy, this place is great! My name is Scott, and I have a '52 F-1 and a '51 COE project.

I recognize quite a few usernames from other sites....hope to get to know the rest.

Great truck, Scott. Love the '51/'52s. One of these days I'll have one on the road too! Stu

Welcome to FTF!

That color blue reminds me of the special color used on some old Model A's. Looks great!

Welcome to FTF

Thanks guys! The truck has a flathead V8, bored 040, otherwise pretty stock. Currently has a stock 3 on the tree, but will soon be getting a T5 5 speed trans swapped in. Hopefully this will make it even MORE fun to drive, and gain a few mpg's too....

Havi, the base color is a Ford truck color called Bahama Blue....I do remember seeing a blue model a though....

The flames must be new on the '52 since I saw it last year, right? Maybe I'm getting your truck and Wayne's mixed up...... hmmmm

And how is the COE coming along? I should drop by and inspect (snoop around) that one. I've never messed with one so it's all new to me.

Hmmmmm, pretty sure the flames were on it, but maybe the hood was off?

As for the COE, I'm still doing body work on the cab....work has kinda stalled though due to other priorities.

Stop by any time.
