Metal Shop for Max's Class and Automotive interest

Automotive

A friend was at my store for a visit just now with one of his trucks. His truck fits into Max’s metal forming class the other night and automotive.
Pics to follow. 1953 F100 updated with a 351 Cleveland, and modern hvac, power steering, updated power assist brakes, fuel cell under the truck (not behind the seat).

He did all the metal work himself, panel beating and forming the olde world way, and painted it on his driveway.

One of my all-time favorite body styles, and with a big block C under the hood, ya ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.

PS that is some nice fab work in the little details, like the filler plugs in the bed curls. :+1:
