How it started vs how it’s going
76 F-150 with 79 grille. It started out rough. Came with red latex house paint over rattlecan over bondo and green. Bought it from a broker in Utah who tried to rip me by not disclosing a salvage title - didn’t know until I received the title in the mail. I really should have cut my losses and bought something in better shape, but for some reason this particular one and I seem to get along. I tend to have 3-5 cars at any time and rotate through them quickly, but this and a 944 cabrio are staying. Note: I am NOT a financial role model.
Now it’s got a great body but is three shades of brown… Had to sue the shop, so at least I got most of my money back. Yeah, it’s not had a great history.
Added 79 frontend, vintageair AC, complete rewire, dakota digital instruments, champion rad, doors from a 79 parts truck, new bed, Sniper2… basically everything except motor/trans has been either rebuilt, replaced, or upgraded. Now it’s at a local shop getting a blueprint 347 and TR4050! I refuse to even contemplate a swap without a cooled garage.
Thanks for sharing all your projects! I love seeing them!
