MDFord Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 A bit of a change for me, I've started a MF 575 So far it's had - Rear wheel swap, Cab structure thinned down in the appropriate places and the mounting lugs on the grille surround removed. I'll need to get a repro cab top at Spalding. On the pics I've got it looks like there's no fuel tank on the off side, can anyone confirm this? Front axle swap next I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
