Re: 1940 "project moonshine"
Your 40 looks fantastic just they way it is... I think if someone needs to paint something it would be the frame showing on your dually...

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"
Chizzler,

Is there anyway you could post pictures of the hood latches that are attached to the fire wall. My truck does not have any and I am wondering if there is a way to fabricate one or if you know of a place that sales them aftermarket? Thank you for your help.
