I'm pleased to join this group. I'm an old car nut who has done several restorations and custom builds over the years. I'm starting a 1952 Ford F3 pickup restoration. Many body panels for the F3 are unique to that model and not available anywhere (even reproductions). I intend to learn how to make/repair these panels and or the equipment to do so.

Welcome, David.
Effie's welcome.
Do not know the F3.
I had a '53 F-100 long ago - found a '56 big window cab, removed the spot welds, pulled out the cab-back section, did same to '53, and added big window section into the '53. Great fits. Looked good, for having all original seams and contours .... back in 1975.
