1952B3b23 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Wow that looks awesome, almost had to put my shades on when i looked at that job rated grill piece! -Chris Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Posted June 2, 2013 First show after all the parts on. Went to Mopars In the Park and scored a plaque! I'll post some pics over on the "Announcements" tab under the Mopars in the Park thread. and the rearranged wall in the garage. 1 Quote
Desotodav Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Well done to both yourself and FEF Mark. The old boy scrubbed up alright (FEF that is)! Well deserved I reckon! Quote
pflaming Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 'ggd': Great grand Dad would be proud. That is a great looking truck. Been following you ever since you hauled it home on that trailer. You've earned the right to be proud. Paul Quote
1952B3b23 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Looks amazing, congrats on winning the plaque. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Posted June 16, 2013 long day prepping for Back to the 50's. I've got MOST of the buffing compound off, I seriously think it turns to concrete if it sits too long. I also had my roll down windows urethaned into the channels. So that means I FINALLY have roll down windows, slight hitch in the passenger one, but it goes all the way if you give it a nudge. Part of the glory of an old vehicle. All that meant I got to get the doors "complete"! Techinically all that is left is figuring out the horn issue, get the dome light cut in and wired, place the radio delete plate, install hood ornament ,put the center headliner screw in and lastly get the arm rests redone and installed. Been a LONG day! Odd I'm so close to "done", but I don't feel it..... 1 Quote
Merle Coggins Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 It's a marathon, not a sprint, Mark. I've had my truck "finished" for about 5 years now, and I'm still finding projects to tinker with. Merle 1 Quote
Desotodav Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 I was thinking the same Merle. My blue truck has been registered for almost 2 years now but still has things that need doing. Are they ever really 'finished'? The old FEF is looking good Mark! Good job on the windows mate - they can be a bit fiddly, Quote
John-T-53 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Posted June 17, 2013 Wow, that interior looks amazing. I like the stitch pattern on the door panels, and looks like you've got chrome escutcheons at the door lever / window cranks? Top notch! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 Wow, that interior looks amazing. I like the stitch pattern on the door panels, and looks like you've got chrome escutcheons at the door lever / window cranks? Top notch! yep, that what he came with. Quote
Todd B Posted June 18, 2013 Report Posted June 18, 2013 Very nice Mark, How are you enjoying the horn ring? I am very close to taking mine off. I am so used to leaning on the steering wheel and i constantly bump that dam ring. Your truck looks amazing! Are you coming to Merles? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Todd, sadly I still haven't had time to trouble shoot the horn issue, I plan to do that next week. I plan on making the shindig, but not in FEF. Edited June 18, 2013 by ggdad1951 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) a little video: http://s1178.photobucket.com/user/ggdad1951/media/20130630_201446_zpse029d257.mp4.html Edited July 1, 2013 by ggdad1951 Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 He he he he..........I love it.......even if you are tooting your own horn. Congrats. Jeff Quote
Desotodav Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Cool video Mark. I'm glad that it finally worked out for you. I recently mounted the 6v dual horns in my truck. I'll have to see if I can post a video for you. I'm almost finished building a 12v dual-horn set now for the next truck (53 Aussie Dodge coupe truck). Quote
ggdad1951 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Posted July 11, 2013 now that the new product from work has launched globally I can share this. FEF was used in a video for work for the new product we launched to show how durable the product is. Marketing took a liberty in the weight of the truck...more of a curb weight than a carrying capacity.... http://s1178.photobucket.com/user/ggdad1951/media/RoadkillEddieWeb_zps3a23f15a.mp4.html Quote
Dave72dt Posted July 11, 2013 Report Posted July 11, 2013 Should have had a pic of the truck on the front of the product instead of the car. Is that the official promo video or the sales pitch video? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) sales pitch/internal video....the cover is one of our "showroom samples" that we have for our dealers. I want to make an old timey silent movie video complete with cheezy piano music and word cards and evil top hatted long mustached villian to make it more customer friendly...but that's marketing's dime.

ggdad1951 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Posted July 21, 2013 FEF got first in class at the WPC meet today! So happy! 5 Quote
1950 Special Deluxe Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Congratulations. Well deserved. Quote
Desotodav Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Congratulations Mark. It's nice when someone recognizes the time, effort and devotion that you have dedicated to a restoration project. You have done your GGdad proud. Well done my friend !!! Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 That has got to make you feel great Mark. It's really wonderful to see a friend here achieve something like this. Jeff Quote
ggdad1951 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Probably one of the last nice days in Minnesota, so FEF went to work today with me....also you can see the arm rests installed. 2 Quote
Desotodav Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Looking good Mark.... really good!!! Quote
