1951 Metro- The Restoration Begins

What I meant about the bumper Dom,is it needs a little pizazz. Like chrome to go with the grille. Black would be boring and dull and either body color not much better,there's enough of them already.

We've been climbing all over the bumper putting in the glass and wiper. Once I paint the logo on the front, I'll finish the bumper. The plan is to paint it red with chrome bumper bolts and also chrome bolts on the bracket that the rear bumper slides in. Some people have suggested painting them white to match the top of the truck, but I think the chrome bolts will pop on the red.

Updated the blog, still a little behind on the writing but working hard on the truck

What? Another update to the blog already www.1951snapon.blog.com

Got one of the doors on last night, it's starting to look like a real truck

Shaping up nicely!!

Thanks, it's getting there

Scottso, Got the rear bumper on. I think it looks pretty good considering what I had to work with.

Looks good Dom. That bumper it came with sure looks like a shin dinger,I'm sure it would get me a LOT. lol or should I say OUCH! er.

I still prefer chrome myself.

Here is a better shot of the rear. Also got the floor in, which means we can walk inside of it a little easier. I need to take a picture from underneath, it looks pretty good under there with the floor in.
