    I put a few new pictures of my Ford F-8 in my album, if anybody wants a look see. For any purists... Yes, I do not have a correct p***engers side running board. I think I'll put a ""drop down" battery box in the same spot as the original. Keeps the "trap door" off the running board. Smooooth.
    I also purchased some Rams horn exhaust manifolds. Good bye crossover pipe!!! More body work, etc as the weather warms and I get the time.

    Oh boy!! I actually found (at great expense) a proper right hand running board. Gonna do a little cleaning up and use it... ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1379873574.668489.jpg

    Looks great. Good job on the door panel. What are your plans for behind the cab?
