What time frame was this work carried out over? Thanks we had to learn how to make the fenders and hood since couldn't find anyone wanting to do it at first. it was about 3 months of actually time total actually working on truck. Problem was, those 3 months were split up by the paving season and waiting for the motor to come back from a machine shop in the interim, so technically took a year but rebuild. But in that time did another 27 AB (will post that too), during that time as well and a FN, which id still in Progress 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45242-1917-ab-restoration/#findComment-333812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's a little late, but when you run across issues like the fenders put 'em on here. I have a card from a shop that made AB fenders for another restoration as well as all of the shop drawings of the fenders from the museum. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
