First thing I've painted in over 20 years. I used to paint for buddies around town but life got too busy. I wish I'd stuck with it.

Found these in the trash on my way to the cemetery today.

Well, I thought the panhard bar I had was going to be long enough for a drag link, I was wrong. I'm going to the scrap yard, which sells new steel and get some pipe to make a drag link. I cut the factory 50 ford drag link in half and am going to plug weld the rods in each end of the pipe, there...

Got all the chassis together except front shocks and brake lines. Going out now to get the 390 ready to pull so I can make the trans mount. It will be easier without the cab.

I was wondering if I can use a panhard bar as a drag link? I was going to cut the original drag link in half and plug weld the ends in a pipe to get 31 inches but I'd rather have adjustment with heim joints. I wanted to use the ball ends that are pressed in due to I really don't want to go...

Hopefully tomorrow I can get the front suspension under it

Frame is done

I love the looks of that setup. I'm glad you told me that. I had problems with edelbrock carbs until I started running a regulator at 5 psi.

Found a 5 inch hubcap on eBay for the grille. The original bullet nose grille emblem is $750, this cost $10. So far I'm off Sunday so I might get something done.

Merry Christma. Got my headlights mounted on the grill in 10 inches of snow.

I did get really lucky friday. A friend of a friend had 2 sets of 390 headers, still in the original boxes, hedman and cyclone. Got the cyclone headers for $50 with collectors, bolts and the mail in lifetime warranty. I haven't seen the cyclone brand for at least 20 years.

Got it to fit

I'm using a ranger rear end that has an offset pinion and measures 58 but if you had 2, you can take the right side tube and axle which is longer and replace it with a left side from the donor, that would put you at about 54 to 55 inches wide.

So far the cold weather hasn't stopped the progress. Sunday I went out and cut the front frame off of the 71 f250 and am in the process of grinding about a million rivets out of the cross member to use on the f1. I can buy a Fe cross member for about $100 but I can use that money somewhere else...

That is so cool, almost like Ford had that planned out

I've got the wrap around seat in perfect shape. I've got some measuring to do

Well since I'm pretty much done until spring I've got time to dream about what I'm going to do, and save up some money. I'm taking the 390 and c6, seats and dash parts out of the t bird and using it for the f1. Id hate to start throwing money in a car that isn't really worth anything and break...

I had a 3 carb setup on an old 300 ford, wouldn't smooth out either. I blocked off each carb one by one with a solid piece of gasket material under one at a time. First one didn't change but when I blocked off the center carb, it was smooth as silk. I never switched it out, just ran the front...

1966. I'm thinking about building a 4 link frame for the back. Frame rails a leafs are gone. Got a title too
