Yea buddy ,working on old rides is a good past time ,that's for sure!
I miss those days with my friends back in the day...

I hear ya, only problem is no one I know has the knowledge or experience for old cars. Not many people like to get dirty anymore

getting the tires tomorrow, Cooper Cobras, 10 wide in the front, and 12 in the rear. Brakes and fuel should be plumbed today. I got the front signal housings refurbished and sprayed the wheels silver yesturday. SO CLOSE

healthy boots, for a healthy 351 I have. Havent started building, but the rear end will handle 800. So I have some room with the engine. The rebuild when I got it was supposed to be 400 or so.

What's the 351 build going to be?

havent planned that far ahead yet. When I do, the trans is coming out to be built up too. Im more concerned getting it running and driving, so I can utilize my shop for most the big shit

New shoes came home.

Those fit in between the wheel wells very nicely.

Good. I need the traction. Old school look helps too. Im going for the old school look, I have the paint in mind too. Going with a 60s-70 style. But will involve pearls and metallics. Dumped exhaust, clean shaven vehicle with some new style tech add ons.

The wheels that are on it now, sit inside the fender about 3 inches, and are too skinny and small. But makes sense since it was a Farm truck, and rarely driven. I still love the fact its under 40k origional. Everything is origional, besides 1 rear drum on the the truck, and the brown shitty paint
