34 summer is here a little more time with the door open . Though never experiencing to many aftermarket parts I sure do read a bit on them . Funny how no one out there can get a standard for good parts . Glad you found one that will plumb up for you .


34 I lucked out and had someone here the weekend who finished all the sheet metal work on the 31 . Charged $15 a hour labor and put in 19 hours in 2 days . Made it easy for me since my metal skills are not at that level .

Yes, it was a nice summer day! I had doors open on both ends of the shop so I had a nice breeze blowing through!
There is supposedly a "standard" and that's what makes Drakes so expensive, they are an official Ford "Authorized Parts Producer", or some such. Everything I've bought from them has a label saying approved by Ford. I guess it costs them a good deal of money to get the Ford approval too!

At least you know that all the details are right when you buy from them.
Using the "others" grilles I thought I was going to need a custom hood because I couldn't get the spacing right. With this new grille I had plenty of adjustment and should have no problem getting a hood to fit well.

Randy, you're going to spoil yourself with that new daily driver and all it's "modern conveiniences".

Now I can't wait for next weekend, more new parts are awaiting!
