When I said keep it off of the painted surfaces, I meant keep it off of the exterior painted surfaces, not the painted surfaces under the hood. It will make the dull black under the hood look like new. Sorry for not clarifying that in the earlier post

It's definitely COOL!

Bob, how did you get your avatar to do that? I think I read somewhere how you did it, but I can't remember where I saw it now.

Notmeofficer, It sounds like you and I have a lot in common in the way we think. There is not a single connection made on my truck wiring that has not been soldered and protected with heat shrink tubing. I too use weather pak connectors on anything exterior, and also buy the sealed relays with...

My truck would fit in this custom truck category too I would suppose

After you get finished doing the cleaning and degreasing, spray the entire engine compartment with WD-40 liberally. Try to keep it off of the painted surfaces....WD-40 won't harm the paint, but it gets it oily and difficult to get off without soap and water wash and rinse. Right after you spray...

Frankenford........A LOT of patience. Other than it took a lot of time and patience, it really was easy to do. There is so much room that you don't have to be so precise on where you put things. On a typical street rod car, like my Dodge with the Chevy LT-1, you don't have a quarter of an inch...

I just found that site and also this site the same night a few nights ago. I just started looking for Old Ford trucks and ran across both sites and registered at each one of them at the same time and started looking around in both. I am just now learning of everyone being banned from over there.

Hi Frankenford,I guess my truck could be considered a Frankenford too if you think about it. Its a Ford body, a Cummins engine, a Dodge driveline, and a GM steering column. Has anybody ever tried to plug a GM steering column up to a Dodge wiring harness? The connectors just don't match...

The only thing I ran into was I tried to attach a link to this site of photos of my truck in the gallery over here, and when I hit enter it just deleted everything automatically. I never even thought about it. I am a member at other internet sites that is based on topics of the same nature and...

I am hearing that the admins over there are pretty arrogant with stuff like that. I personally have not ran into anything like that, but it seems many others have.

Nevermind, that truck was darker red in color

Thanks Chris for adding that link. I figured there was a way to do it, I just didn't know how. Yes Brian, I do remember seeing your truck at Branson now that I think about it. I think the left frt corner of your front fender is in another picture you took of my truck in Branson.

I just added a bunch of photos I found of while I was building my truck. There have been several guys wanting to see build pics. I apologize they aren't in the correct order. I added them to my gallery.Scott
