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

 

[Big_Texxan]

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.

 

[DNFXDLI]

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.

 

[fatherdoug]

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
