i just popped it in the truck looks sweet ill get a pic in the day light tomarrow. ive done this to my 88 and 95 but i never painted the mesh before

 

Looks real good man. I hope the hole for the hood latch isn't too noticeable with the red paint.

 

it more noticable to me my wife says she dont notice it at first glance. the only thing i hate about these old fords is the location of the hood latch

 

well could you just cut a narrow slit instead of a hole and have the latch slide through it?

 

na the latch goes 3/4 inch thru the hole and i cant go behind it but im thinkin of painting the arm red too so there isnt just a square of black in the mesh

 

Any of you guys know how hard it is to pull a fender on these trucks?
Found em for 30 bucks a piece at the local u pull it, But I haven't taken one off yet.
A bed is 225 surprisingly, I just hope I can find a decent one.

 

they aint to bad just remember the bolt on the bottem.
take the inner fenderwell screws out then u can take the bolts under the hood the on on the bottem n i cant remmeber but i think theres one in the door jam but u can slide a socket with a long extenchen in to get it.

its been years since ive replaced a fender on one of these but i remmeber it wasnt hard took me about 10 mins to get it off

u dont need to take the head light out but i did just so i wouldnt break it

I haven't done an '87-91, but I'm pretty sure it IS necessary to remove the h/ls.

 

Love the black,do not like the red.Should have done it all black.I'll be the first to admit that i'm obsessed with black.Nice job though,on a buget. Just getting ready to do mine.

 

i love the way black and red looks. especialy a 34 ford flat black with red accents. i did my tailgate tonight i did the 2 red stripes and the stamed ford red

 

well i got stage 1 of red dun i know i want more but aint decided what to do and what will look good










im thinking about some red on the hood maskin the body lines or somthin but ill mess around with it a little and see what i come up with

 

Ditto, although I hate the term "murdered out" for obvious reasons, that's what I'm going for with my aviator.

To me black out means as black as black can be, as in 0 chrome/other colors. Although I know how hard it is to get rid of.

 

originaly i was gann keep everything black n do a black chrome but things changed

 

Looks good so far but I think I would have left out the red stripe at the bottom of the tailgate. And..... Uh..... What in the world are you doing at bed bath and beyond or Ross?
