Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
Hey hogfarm, I'm retired 6 years this past January 1st and it still seems hard to find time to finish a project. From what I remember, work seemed to have gotten in the way!!

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
Thanks.
I've had my truck since 1992 and it has never been driven by me. Life always has a way of putting it on the back burner. One of these days though..... Kim[/QUOTE] Just think, some day soon, you'll hear the roar of the engine and down the road you'll go. Good luck my friend.

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
I know about the cold,it has not been above freezing for 2 months,and the 4' of snow on my property is a giant block of ice.But i go to the shop and turn on the heat,try to get some work done every day.Today I'm going to work on the tail gate latch for the 58,I got an old smashed Ford tail gate and remove all the latch guts.My 58 tail gate is in bad shape but I think I can put a center latch in it,to remove the chains

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
Well after shoulder surgery and therapy I've still had issues with my shoulder. although it still is a bit painful, I've moved into the "finishing" stage of my front valance. A great friend and I, finally got around to working on the front end and i got the primer on it today. Now, we need nice hot sunshine so I can finish painting, so here it is. Thanks to all for your ideas, comments and pictures that have helped me out.

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
my56, I just came home from physio on my shoulder. having a coffee then heading off to the gym for more workout time and rehab. apparently it is coming along well but it sure seems to take forever. I am currently in rubberband rehab.
take it easy but steady, your shoulder will heal soon enough. thats what the physio keeps telling me. i thought i would share that, it is like mental therapy for me. haha. |

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
Still too cold at night to spray.
Was nice today and if it stays this way I'll be able to get back at it. Kim |

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
Here's the final product. I Had to wait out our weather so I could have a good weather day here in NW Indiana as well as the healing of my left shoulder. I'm not a real good painter, but I think it turned out good.

Re: 56 truck front valance sheet metal
when you find a way to reduce the "honey do lists" please, send me your instructions. I hadn't mention it, but that's another reason why it took till now to paint this. lol Thanks to you hogfarm and kim57 for the kinds words.
